About Chicago, Illinois

Rising on the shore of Lake Michigan, Chicago is the largest city in the American Midwest and the birthplace of the modern skyscraper. Rebuilt with astonishing speed after the Great Fire of 1871, it became a titan of railroads, meatpacking, futures trading, and architecture, all wrapped in a fiercely proud neighborhood culture. Deep-dish pizza, blues clubs, and the mirrored curve of 'The Bean' are as much a part of the city as its steel-framed skyline.

History of Chicago

  • The name derives from a Native American (Miami-Illinois) word, shikaakwa, referring to the wild onion or garlic that grew along the river.
  • Incorporated as a city on March 4, 1837, ideally positioned to profit from the nation's westward expansion; it grew past 6,000 people within seven years.
  • The Great Chicago Fire of October 8-10, 1871 destroyed several square miles, killed roughly 300 people, and left about a third of the population homeless.

Landmarks and Places in Chicago

  • Cloud Gate ('The Bean') and Millennium Park
  • The elevated 'L' train and the downtown Loop
  • The Magnificent Mile and Chicago Riverwalk

The Chicago Economy

  • A global financial hub with the largest and most diverse derivatives market in the world; its exchanges generate roughly 20% of all commodities and financial futures volume.
  • A central transportation node for the U.S., historically the biggest rail interchange in the country and home to one of the world's busiest airports at O'Hare.
  • Historically the most important processing point for raw materials (grain, lumber, livestock) moving east from the frontier, home of the great stockyards.

Community Life in Chicago

  • Food: the birthplace of deep-dish pizza (Lou Malnati's, Giordano's, Pizzeria Uno), plus the Chicago-style hot dog and Italian beef sandwich.
  • Sports: the Cubs at ivy-walled Wrigley Field, the White Sox, the Bears (NFL), the Bulls of Michael Jordan's dynasty, and the Blackhawks (NHL).
  • Music: the home of electrified Chicago blues and the birthplace of house music, with a rich jazz heritage.
