Reference: history of the districts of Illinois

Reference information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IL-01
if you scroll down to the history it states that at that time between 1903 and 1947 this district was then confined to theCity of Chicago
1903-1949 (initially 25; two of 27 elected at large from 1913-43, and one of 26 elected at large from 1943-49): The district was now confined to the city of Chicago for the first time, and included downtown and the area east of Wentworth to 43rd Street, also reaching west to include Armour Square as well as most of Bridgeport northeast of 33rd and Halsted Streets.[27] Illinois' districts were not redrawn until 1947, taking effect for the 1948 elections.[28] In 1928, Oscar De Priest became the first African American elected to Congress in the 20th century.
