Skyscrapers came about due to a lack of land in two of America's largest cities, New York and Chicago. This lack of space created high land values and made it financially viable to build upwards. This led to a race between the two cities to build the tallest building and thus the skyscraper was born.

Which came first elevators or skyscrapers?
The answer must include that before skyscrapers, men built what at the time were considered "very tall" buildings between 4 and 10 floors high. They put elevators into these smaller "very tall" buildings. When skyscrapers came later, the concept of elevators simply went along with the concept of extremely tall buildings that tried to reach the sky. So, technically, elevators came before skyscrapers, in numerous small and large towns with what was then "very tall" buildings that were only a fraction of the size of skyscrapers.
