In the mid-1800s, cities such as Chicago, Illinois, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, emerged as significant frontier towns near the Great Lakes. Chicago, in particular, became a bustling hub due to its strategic location on Lake Michigan and its role as a transportation center. These cities played a crucial role in the westward expansion and economic development of the region during that period.
