The history of Chicago's city government dates back to March 4, 1837 when the town of Chicago, with a population of about 4,006, was decided a city charter by the Illinois state legislature.
The location at the mouth of the Chicago river was chosen for its strategic value for a trading post as the river connected the Lake with the Mississippi river.
One year later, Chicago was officially incorporated as a town and four years later, when the population reached 4170, as a city.

ChicagoCougars Hockey Club, Inc., 100 Ill.App.3d 664, 427 N.E.2d 290 (1981), while acknowledging that no Illinois court had previously contemplated the question of what, if any, duty a hockey club owes to a spectator, declined to follow its 1967 decision defining the duty owed by the Chicago Cubs to a spectator.
The Court stated, "we do not believe that the general rule of non-liability that is usually applied in baseball cases is necessarily applicable in hockey cases because there are fundamental differences in the way baseball and hockey are played and the dangers incident to the games." Id. at 666, 427 N.E.2d at 292.
