Caldwell Woods is named for Billy Caldwell,
chief of the Potawatomi Indians and instrumental in Chicago's early history for saving the lives of the Kinzie family at the Fort Dearborn Massacre. As reward for his service, the United States government in 1816 granted him the lands along the North Branch of the Chicago River north of the Indian Boundary line. The Indian Boundary line represents the lands the United States took control removing native American settlements in order to build a navigation canal to connect Lake Michigan with the Illinois River. Caldwell Woods
is also a popular bird observation location for migratory songbirds, especially warblers, thrushes and vireos.
