The Latin Kings are the oldest and largest Hispanic gang in Chicago. In the mid 1970s, this gang originated in two Hispanic communities within Chicago: South Chicago and the Humboldt Park area. Later, additional factions of this gang developed in almost every Hispanic community in Chicago. Originally, this gang developed as a traditional street gang. Their main desire was to protect their neighborhood or turf. Occasionally, they would do battle with rival street gangs from other neighborhoods.

The Latin Kings are Chicago's largest gang and have been involved in numerous violent acts. Although the original members were of Puerto Rican decent, most members are now Mexican-America. They now allow members of all races to join, yet they are mostly composed of Spanish, Caribbean, Latvian, Italian, Portuguese, Mexican or South American members.
