Robbins, IL is known to be called Mudville just because there are no sidewalks. It was incorporated on December 14, 1917. It is the oldest all-black governed incorporated town in the northern United States. it is known to be a small suburb right outside of the city of Chicago. Robbins is known to be over populated with families who share two bedroom homes. Robbins is considered to be a one small circle that you can not get lost in. There are very little stores in Robbins they are all walking distances. I have only been living in Robbins for five years and I know almost everybody that how small it is. Every time it rain the streets get flooded with rain and mud, it makes it hard for the cars to get through.

Many people would consider Robbins to be a small town that don’t care bout their people when that is not true Robbins is known for trying to help the community and the people. They have many youth programs and elderly programs. They help people who are not able to pay their bills they give food to the ones who can’t provide for themselves. Robbins was able to build over 40 new homes so people in the projects will be able to move into their own. Many famous people were born and raised in Robbins, for instance Dwayne Wade who has donated so much money to keeping the town alive and KeKe Palmer who has came back to motivate others that she will always love where she came from because the people in Robbins is why she is famous today. Robbins is not how many make it seem it’s only what you make it.
