Chicago is the third-largest city in the United States, situated in the state of Illinois. It is often called “The Windy City,” although the origins of this nickname are debated. Chicago has a rich history, having been founded in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed. It quickly grew in the 19th century due to its central position in the U.S., which was ideal for railways. The city is renowned for its architecture, with iconic structures like the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) and John Hancock Center. Chicago is also known for its deep-dish pizza, blues and jazz music, and sports teams like the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bulls.
