The city of Chicago is not only the largest city in Illinois, but also the largest in the Midwest and the third most heavily populated in the United States. The city is home to over 28 million people and is home to two airports, Midway and O’Hare, with O’Hare being the second busiest airport in the world. The city of Chicago was first developed in 1833, but the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed an entire third of the city. The city was able to take this disaster and grow from it, with some of the greatest architectural developments arising in the rebuilding of the city.

Chicago has many professional sport teams, including the Chicago Cubs (National League Baseball team), the Chicago White Sox (American League Baseball team), the Chicago Bears (National Football League team), the Chicago Bulls (National Basketball Association team) and the Chicago Blackhawks (National Hockey League team). Chicago has 666 public schools within its limits, 394 private schools, and an astounding 83 colleges. Chicago also has an amazing theatre community, a symphony orchestra, and a city ballet.

The city of Chicago is often referred to as the “Windy City,” and while it may refer to the city’s windy weather, being that it is right next to the lake, many believe the nickname was originally attributed to the politicians in the city and their behaviors.
