In the year 1958 the Spartans formed in Heart of Chicago section of Lower West Side neighborhood along 18th Street by 18th and Damen and 18th and Wood, they hung out in Harrison Park.   The Spartans developed a deep rivalry with the Rampants that formed at about the same time; the Rampants were the arch enemy of the Spartans.  The Spartans were allies with the Morgan Deuces from 18th and Morgan.  The Spartans were just a few blocks away from the Satan Disciples and Gaylords in the 1960s and those were some of their biggest enemies.  The Spartans continued on until about the late 1970s to early 1980s then they went extinct.
