Hamlin Park has it's roots in the early 20th century when local residents with the help the Galilee Baptist Church petitioned the City of Chicago for the creation of a community park in the area. In 1909 their wish was granted and noted architect Dwight Perkins, a member of the progressive reform movement, designed the park. Hamlin Park is named after Abraham Lincoln's first Vice President, Hannibal Hamlin, who unlike Andrew Johnson, never rose to the Presidency.
