Little Palestine

An area of Bridgeview, Illinois that is mostly inhabited by Arabs who immigrated to the Chicagoland area in the 1980s. Once a place with many Polish and Irish people who eventually moved further west while the Arabs moved in leaving Bridgview and surrounding suburbs as a home for many Arab immigrants. Most of these immigrants come from Palestine and Jordan. Anywhere from 87th-71st street you can expect to find an Arabian family on every corner. They nickname this area "Little Palestine" due to the large amount of Arab immigrants in the area. Nearby towns such as Chicago Ridge, Hickory Hills, Oak Lawn, Palos Hills, etc are home to many arab immigrants as well.
