The neighborhood received its name from the large number of male goats (known as “bucks”) that were raised in the neighborhood and kept in the backyards of early residents during the 19th century. Before the final name of Bucktown was established, the Polish referred to the neighborhood as “Kozie Prery,” which translates to Goat Prairie.
