Notes:
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.

In the mid 1990's, Roseland gained notoriety as the stomping ground of Robert "Yummy" Sandifer, the child who was executed by his gang at eleven.

The much lauded mural "I Welcome Myself to a New Place: Roseland Pullman Mural," by Olivia Gude, Jon Pounds, and Marcus Jefferson, 1988, was designed to unite the predominantly African American community of Roseland with its nearest neighbor, the predominantly white Pullman community.
