Edward F. "Foxy Ed" Cullerton[1][3][4] (1841–1920) was a politician who was a longtime alderman of the Chicago City Council, and also served as a member of the Illinois Senate.

[2] Cullerton also simultaneously served as an Illinois State Senator, having been elected to that position in 1872, and assuming it in 1873.

[8][5][9] In the Illinois Senate he distinguished himself by standing as an opponent to the West Side Park Commissioners' taxation scheme, and also became well-versed in parliamentary procedure.

[5] In 1876, Cullerton was elected an alderman of what, that year, was renamed the Chicago City Council for the 6th ward.

[7] Cullerton had a reputation for being shrewd and for being quiet, giving birth to his nickname "Foxy Ed".

[7][8] For a cumulative period of 112 years, at least one member of the Cullerton family sat on the Chicago City Council.

"Parky" Cullerton was an ally of Richard J. Daley and served as Cook County assessor.
