The 1893 fair was called the World's Columbian Exposition in observance of the 400th anniversary of Columbus's landing in the New World. (Note: It was named after Christopher Columbus whose name is spelled with a "u," not the country of Colombia that is spelled with an "o.")
The 1933 fair was called "A Century of Progress" and scheduled to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Chicago. Its theme was technological innovation.
