The phrase the "Windy City" for Chicago is typically attributed to NEW YORK SUN newspaper editor Charles Dana, who before the 1893 Chicago World's Fair (Columbian Exposition) wrote, "pay no attention to the nonsensical claims of that windy city,"referring to the "Second City's" reputation for blustery politics and tourism propaganda. It was somewhat prescient of Chicago's efforts to get the Olympic games for 2016 (without success).
Some wordsmiths find use of the term twenty years before Dana, fueled by Chicago's constant reputation for combustible political breezes ever since its beginning.
Others point out that Chicago is among the ten windiest cities in the U. S. and that its proximity to the gigantic Lake Michigan and its collection of skyscrapers enhance its reputation via the weather.
However windy the "Windy City" might be, the origins are more social than climatic.
