Irving Park History

Irving Park is known to be one of 77 officially designated Chicago community areas found on the Northwest Side. The area is bounded on the east by the Chicago River, on the west by the Milwaukee Road railroad tracks, on the south by Addison Street and on the north by Montrose Avenue, west of Pulaski Road stretching to include the area between Belmont Avenue on the south and, roughly Leland Avenue on the north. The neighborhood was named after Washington Irving, a famous American author.

The development of Irving Park started in 1843 when Major Noble bought a 160-acre tract of land from Christopher J. Ward, wherein Noble started a farm. Today, the boundaries of that original farm are Montrose Avenue to the North, Irving Park Road to the south, Pulaski Road to the east, and to the west by Kostner Avenue. The home of Major Noble on the East Side of Elston just south of Montrose served also as the Buckthorn Tavern, offering travelers respite coming to and from Chicago along the North West Plank Road. Noble was quite successful at farming for many years until he retired and sold the land to McHenry County.

An agreement was reached with the Northwestern Railroad and Chicago to let trains stop in Irving Park if a station was built by developers. The original name for the new suburb was actually “Irvington” after famed author Washington Irving but it was known that another town in Illinois already goes by that name and therefore, the name Irving Park was adopted.

I have been going to McKinley Family Chiropractic for almost a year now (or is it longer?). I have NO regrets at all. I have never felt better! The staff and the doctors are absolutely compassionate, caring and very friendly. I feel like I am visiting family each week! They are so knowledgeable and fully explain everything that they are doing. They always are so patient with me when I ask questions and NEVER feel rushed out of there. Give them a try and see for yourself.

I’ve been suffering from strong upper back and neck pain, stretching down the nerves in my arms, since working from home with the onset of the pandemic. Before coming to McKinley Family Chiropractic, I spent thousands of dollars on massages and PT, but the pain was persistent. I was also seeing a chiropractor out in the suburbs, but the commute made it difficult to schedule appointments with frequency, so I only scheduled appointments when the pain got too severe. I wish I started coming to McKinley family chiropractic sooner! Within the first two weeks of the regiment , I felt vast improvement. I no longer have nerve pain, the muscles in my neck were a lot less tense, and my posture improved immensely. They’ve also helped me work through ongoing knee pain that has improved my running form! Moreover, the staff is very kind. I’m always greeted by my first name when I walk in the door and I feel comfortable asking the team any question about pain in the body. Note that the process requires several initial visits (I scheduled appointments 2-3x/week for the 12 visits), but then the visit frequency scales back once I had noticeable improvement. The office does accommodate this by having flexible hours (open until 7pm certain evenings, Saturday morning appointments are always available) and having an efficient schedule ( I rarely stay in the office longer than 10 minutes). I really appreciate Dr. McKinley’s holistic approach to health and wellness and would recommend anyone experiencing pain to visit McKinley Family Chiropractic.

I’ve had such a great time at McKinley Family Chiropractic! The staff is so welcoming and makes you feel right at home even when you’re having problems with your back. I’ve been here with them for about a month and I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and business. With my job I have a different schedule every day and the staff is very accommodating to it, as they have flexible hours so it’s super easy for me to come from work. I recommend coming here if you are having trouble with your back as Dr. Ray and Dr. McKinley have taken very good care of me! I’ve improved in just over a month and have been feeling back to myself thanks to them and the staff
