Chicago 1875
After the devastating Great Fire of 1871, the resilient people of Chicago set out to rebuild—and rebuild they did. Over the following six decades, the city entered a golden age of economic growth, rising to such prominence that it hosted the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893 and, forty years later, celebrated its Century of Progress at the 1933 World’s Fair. During this remarkable period, many iconic American brands were born in Chicago—Oscar Mayer, Kraft, Quaker Oats, Nabisco, Schwinn, Swift & Co., Armour & Co., Charles Schwab, and more.
