It opened in 1922 and is named after a boundary line set in 1816 by the Treaty of St. Louis, a territory agreement between the Potawatomi Indians and the U.S. government. It remained in effect until 1833, when Native Americans were forced completely off the land. The original line runs through the middle of the park.
This Chicago landmark is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
