Founded by Phillip Roger's in 1868, Roger's park is one of the more densely populated areas of the Far North, with apartment building construction almost tradition by this point. The area sports a large catholic and Jewish communities. Also located within the district is Loyola University and formerly Mundelin College, a women's catholic college. Curiously, most college attendees who live off campus reside in Edgewater to the south instead of Roger's Park proper. Most of the commercial and economic development is directly centered around public transportation centers which links the region with the rest of the city, again, another tradition of inter-connectivity with the rest of Chicago sense the 19th century.
