Chicago, Illinois

History
In the 20th century, Chicago became a culturally diverse area as large numbers of people made their way to the Windy City. Due to the large influx of immigration from the south, the city has become a epicenter for arts as well as a transportation and financial hub. While steel mills flourished until the 1970s, the economy is now dominated by the transportation and financial sectors.
