"Pulaski – Once called Crawford (it still is in the northern suburbs) after an early Scottish settler, the name was changed to honor the Polish hero of the Revolutionary War and father of the American cavalry Casimir Pulaski. When Mayor Ed Kelly tried to rename it in 1933 to reward his Polish supporters, business owners along the street fought back hard. Only after the Illinois Supreme Court weighed in (for the second time) was the change officially accepted, in 1952."
