About Evanston -
Evanston (formerly Ridgeville, Illinois) is a city on Lake Michigan located in Cook
County, Illinois directly north of Chicago, east of Skokie, and south of Wilmette.
The city was first settled in 1836, and as of the 2000 census, the city had a total population
of 74,239. Evanston is part of Chicago's affluent North Shore region.
After being chosen as the home for Northwestern University, the city was incorporated in 1863,
and named after John Evans. During the 1960s Northwestern University changed the city's shoreline
with a 74 acre (300,000 m²) lakefill.
Today, the city is home to Northwestern University and other educational institutions as well as
headquarters of Alpha Phi International women's fraternity, Rotary International, the National
Lekotek Center, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, the Sigma Chi Fraternity and the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.
Evanston is also the birthplace of tinkertoys, automobile racing, and (allegedly) the ice cream sundae.
