Edgebrook was once part of the Sauganash land tract known as Caldwell's Reserve, and was annexed by the city of Chicago in 1889.

Edgebrook is roughly bordered by I-94 (the Edens Expressway) and the city limits to the east, the forest preserve and Niles to the west, the North Branch of the Chicago River to the south, and the Chicago city limits to the north.

The 84 Peterson and 85A North Central CTA bus routes serve the Edgebrook neighborhood.

Today, Old Edgebrook is an historical landmark district, surrounded on all sides by Cook County Forest Preserve land.

Indian Woods is originally part of the Forest Glen community area, but also located in the northern portion of Jefferson Park.

There are multiple unique wooden signs marking the Indian Woods community that have been in place for many decades.

The Edgebrook Metra train station is located a little south of Wildwood near the intersection of Devon, Lehigh, and Caldwell Avenues.

This neighborhood is named after Billy Caldwell, also known as Sauganash (meaning "English speaking").

Born to a Mohawk mother and an Irish father, William Caldwell Sr., a Captain of the British Butler Rangers, he became a leader of the Potawotomi.

Devon Avenue marks the northern boundary of the city limits of Chicago at this point.

The first European American to settle Forest Glen was Civil War hero Captain William Hazelton of the 1st Cavalry Division.

Forest Glen has supported the Democratic Party in the past two presidential elections.
