The first site for Chicago was unremarkable: a little settlement at the mouth of the Chicago River close to the southern tip of Lake Michigan. Surely, a typical thought for the source of the city's name is an Algonquian word for a wild leek (or onion) plant that developed locally. In any case, Chicago's area at the southwestern finish of the huge Great Lakes framework couldn't have been increasingly perfect as the nation extended westbound in the nineteenth century, and maybe this is reflected in another translation of the Native American term as signifying "solid" or "extraordinary." Regardless of which determination is right, it was before long perceived that the Chicago River shaped a basic connection in the incredible conduit that emerged mid-century between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi River. With the ascent of railroads before long, the youthful city turned into the nation's railroad center point, which expanded the city's quickly becoming mechanical base. Chicago proceeded as America's junction with the hazardous development of air travel after World War II, which slipped the city's progress into a postindustrial economy.
