Why does the North American grid use the 60 Hz frequency in electrical generation?

There is no reason to prefer one Hz frequency over the other. In places like Japan both 50 and 60Hz frequencies co-exist together. It is simply the way North America has used since the development of the electrical power grid and there is no reason to need to go to a 50Hz system.
