| The
name Chicago is thought to come from the Algonquian word "Chicagou"
meaning strong or powerful. Some early Frenchmen believed that the
name was derived from the Algonquian word for "onion place"
because wild onions grew there.
Better known to the locals as the cold Chi ('shy'), the Chi, or the Windy City. Home of 'da Bears, Quincy Jones, and the house that Jordan built. |
