The builder, Arthur Rubloff developed the theory of the project in the 1953 and broke ground on May 8, 1962 with Mayor Richard J. Daley present. It has been called one of the greatest middle-class urban renewal projects in the country.

The names of the buildings in the Village are legendary authors, writers and poets. Carl Sandburg was a Pulitzer Prize winning Chicago historian, journalist and poet.
