Etymology
The word 'northside' is a compound word formed from 'north' and 'side.' The origin of 'north' can be traced back to the Old English word 'norð,' which meant 'the direction toward the North Pole.' 'Side' comes from the Old English 'side,' which referred to a position or location relative to something else. The usage of 'northside' in English can be dated back to at least the 19th century, when it began to refer to the northern sections of cities, particularly in urban areas where delineations were made for social, economic, or cultural distinctions. As cities expanded and developed, terms like 'northside' helped to create identity and community within urban environments.
