Chicago is located on the shores Lake Michigan's freshwater lake. It was established as a city in 1837, near the portage of the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. It grew quickly in the middle of the 19th century.[7] By 1860, Chicago had surpassed 100,000 people. [8] Even though the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 left many square miles ruined and more than 100,000 people homeless,[9] Chicago's population grew rapidly to 503,000 in 1880. Then it doubled to over a million by the end of the decade. [8] Chicago's population growth was accelerated by the construction boom. By 1900, just 30 years after the fire, Chicago was still the fifth-largest in the world. [10] Chicago was a notable contributor to urban planning and zoning standards. This included new construction styles (including Chicago School of Architecture), the creation of the City Beautiful Movement and the steel-framed skyscraper. [11][12]
