Chicago's growth into a major city in the 1800s was primarily driven by its strategic location as a transportation hub, connecting the Great Lakes with the Mississippi River. The construction of railroads, particularly the Illinois Central Railroad, facilitated commerce and migration, attracting businesses and settlers. Additionally, the city's role in the meatpacking and grain industries, combined with the influx of immigrants, contributed significantly to its rapid urban development and population growth.
