at the mouth of the Chicago River.
In 1830, lots were
sold to finance construction of what would become the Illinois and Michigan
Canal, connecting Chicago with the Mississippi River. Three years later, with
a booming population of 350, the Town of Chicago was incorporated.
The city's multicultural heritage is reflected in its neighborhoods, which now
attract thousands of visitors each year and is home to nearly three million
people from all over the world. As each new group has come to the city, their
