Jean Baptiste Point du Sable established his trading post at the confluence of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, in what is now Chicago, Illinois. This strategic location allowed him to engage in trade with Native American tribes and later European settlers. DuSable's trading post is often regarded as the first permanent non-Indigenous settlement in the area, marking the beginnings of Chicago's development.
