Clip: 4/9/2022 | 1m 58sVideo has Closed Captions
The iconic Puerto Rican flags over Paseo Boricua are set for landmark status.
As the Humboldt Park neighborhood's name indicates, it was once a German enclave, but since the 1960s, it's been the heart of Chicago's Puerto Rican community. In 1995, that identity was solidified in steel when two 60-foot-high Puerto Rican flags were planted over Division Street, also known as Paseo Boricua. Now, the flags are poised to receive landmark status from the city.
