Highland Park was established as a city on March 11, 1869 out of two earlier settlements, St. John's and Port Clinton, after the Chicago and Milwaukee Railroad arrived in 1856. ## What Highland Park does to a home appliance. The city's terrain includes a 100-foot-high bluff running six miles along Lake Michigan and wooded ravines that reach up to a mile inland, features that shaped where homes could be built. Architects Frank Lloyd Wright, Howard Van Doren Shaw, David Adler and John S. Van Bergen all designed houses here, including Wright's Willits House, giving the city an unusually architect-heavy older housing stock. The city was first settled on scattered farms and undeveloped forested land before the railroad and lakefront setting drew affluent residential development.
