Grand Crossing
Description
The name "Grand Crossing" comes from an 1853 right-of-way feud between the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway and the Illinois Central Railroad that led to a frog war and a crash.
The Oak Woods Cemetery, established in 1854, is located in Greater Grand Crossing. Since 2006, Artist Theater Gates has redeveloped several buildings in Grand Crossing as art and community centers. The community has since been redeveloped in slow progression and will be an historic landmark for future generations.
