Chicago -- The Windy City

Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837, near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed.  As  Chicago grew, its residents took heroic measures to keep pace. In the 1850s, they raised many of the streets five to eight feet to install a sewer system – and then raised the buildings, as well. Unfortunately, the buildings, streets and sidewalks were made of wood, and most of them burned to the ground in the Great
Chicago Fire of 1871
. The Chicago Fire Department training academy at 558 W. DeKoven St. is on the site of the O’Leary property where the
fire began. The Chicago Water Tower and Pumping Stationat Michigan and Chicago avenues are among the few buildings to have survived the fire. Chicago rebuilt quickly. Much of the debris was dumped into Lake Michigan as landfill, forming the underpinnings for what is now Grant Park, Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago. Only 22 years later, Chicago celebrated its comeback by holding the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893, with its memorable “White City.” Today, Chicago is listed as an alpha+ global city by the Globalization and World
Cities Research Network, and ranks seventh in the world in the 2012 Global Cities Index. The city is an international hub for finance, commerce, industry, telecommunications, and transportation, with O'Hare International Airport being the second-busiest airport in the world in terms of traffic
movements.
