RESEARCH NOTES:
From Grinnell, Max. "Kenwood." Encyclopedia of Chicago.:
"Kenwood, much like its bucolic counterparts to the north of the city, was settled in the 1850s by individuals seeking respite from the increasing congestion of Chicago. The first of these residents was Dr. John A. Kennicott, who built his home near the Illinois Central Railroad tracks at 48th Street. He named the home Kenwood after his ancestral land in Scotland, and when the Illinois Central built a small depot near 47th Street, they named the station Kenwood as well. Shortly afterwards, the name Kenwood came to be applied to the area of land between 43rd Street and 51st Street, and from the lake west to Cottage Grove Avenue."
Other sources say that Kenwood was the name of his mother's estate in Scotland.
Kenwood House is located near London and housed the Scottish nobleman William Murray, the First Earl of Mansfield. He was forced to abandon Scone Palace in the 1700's, and he was able near London to practice law and be involved in royal politics. In 1793 Murray's nephew inherited his title and Kenwood. It passed hands several times in the 19th century and was the scene of many royal visits.
