Does anyone know the names of any Bulgarian neighborhoods in Chicago?

Answer 1

Hi from Chicago.

I am not sure if there are any areas specifically for Bulgarians. I will do my best to give information.

Chicago has the largest Bulgarian community in the world (outside Bulgaria) with more than 150,000 Bulgarians living in the city.

The Macedonian Tribune, has been published for more than 80 years. They give this email address for contact.

Answer 2

I've recently heard that Chicago has the largest Bulgarian population in the world, outside of Bulgaria - interesting.

The Eastern Europeans (mostly Polish) tend to be on the far West or Northwest sides. I am not absolutely sure, but I would try to look into Dunning or Galewood or maybe the suburb of Elmwood Park.

Roughly around the intersection of Fullerton and Harlem.

Hope this helps.
