Chicago's cultural interests can be traced back to 1893, when the city hosted the World's Columbia Exposition. During that time it's orchestra, library and major museums were established.

Chicago also houses the Tribune Tower whose outer layer of building consists of authentic stones from Westminster Abbey, the Alamo, Hamlet's castle, the Great Pyramid, the Taj Mahal, Fort Sumter and the Arc de Triomphe. The Wrigley building is a huge landmark. It's clock tower was designed to mimic the Giralda Tower in Spain. Also in Chicago was where the first of Marshall Field's Clocks was installed.
The public availability of the waterfront makes Chicago unique among major U.S. Cities. The renovation of Navy Pier, a famous landmark, has added even more vitality to the lake front area by including restaurants, specialty shops, marina facilities, and docking for cruise and charter ships. The pleasures of Chicago's Farmers markets can be had starting in early June to Halloween. Over 25 Farmers Markets take place throughout the City of Chicago, from Daley Plaza in the Loop to the Smith School Parking Lot in the Gately community.

In the March, 1999 issue of Bicycling, Chicago was ranked among the top ten best cycling cities.

A city for all seasons, Chicago's weather is changing all the time. Often called the "Windy City," Chicago's winds are strong but less intense than winds in other U.S. cities. The nickname was coined by a spiteful New York editor to describe Chicago politicians during the city's first World's Fair.
Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, a humble fur trader from
Santo Domingo, was the first known resident of Chicago. He built the first
settlement in 1779 on the Chicago River. During 1830, many lots were sold
to fund the construction of Illinois. In 1833, the little town of Chicago
of just 350 people was incorporated. The name Chicago is derived from an
Indian word meaning "strong."
