Roseland
Located on the far south side of the city, is one of the 77 official community areas of Chicago, Illinois. It includes the neighborhoods of Fernwood, Princeton Park and Roseland. Roseland was settled in the 1840s by Dutch immigrants who called the area "de Hooge Prairie", the high prairie because it was built on higher, drier ground than another Dutch settlement several miles further south in the Little Calumet River swamps which they called "de laage Prairie", the low prairie. That community became South Holland, Illinois and it received an influx of Roseland residents during the white flight of the mid-20th century. Roseland supplied some workers to the Pullman car factory in neighboring Pullman, Chicago
