Description

Oakland was a development south of  Chicago, originally Cleaverville, renamed in 1871 after the new local railroad station. At this time it was in Hyde Park Township. This "elite neighborhood" later (1889) became part of Chicago. It's located on the Lake, near 41st St., East of Bronzeville.

The Chicago Tribune, June 15, 1870 reports a game at a picnic in "Dell Grove" on the IC RR between the Osceola and Pioneer Clubs of Oakland,
