Lincoln Square on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois, is one of the city's 77 community areas.

Two brothers, Lyman and Joseph Budlong arrived in 1857 to start a commercial pickling operation near what is today Lincoln Avenue and Berwyn.

Lincoln Square is historically known as a heavily German influenced and populated neighborhood,[5] but now one is just as likely to see shops catering to the Thai culture.

The German-language weekly newspaper Amerika Woche [de] was born in Lincoln Square in 1972, though its original headquarters above the Brauhaus is now only a bureau.

The Apple Fest is a longstanding tradition in Lincoln Square that brings the community together to celebrate the beginning of fall.

During the 101st General Assembly, the community area is represented by Senator Heather Steans and House Majority Leader Greg Harris.
