History

Perhaps one of the greatest events in Chicago was the 1871 Chicago Fire. This became known as the Great Chicago Fire. The fire destroyed four square miles and killed hundreds of people. This is known to be one of the largest U.S. disasters of the 19th century. Many tales have surfaced as to how the fire started but no one really knows.
