Chicago received the nickname "Second City" in the late nineteenth century after being rebuilt from the great Chicago fire of 1873.

The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was pivotal for Illinois as it transformed Chicago from a struggling city into a dynamic hub of industry and commerce. The disaster prompted extensive urban rebuilding and innovation in building codes, leading to the development of modern skyscrapers and infrastructure. Additionally, it galvanized community resilience and social reform efforts, ultimately shaping the city's identity and growth in the years that followed. The fire also highlighted the need for improved fire safety measures, influencing policies statewide.

During the Great Chicago Fire in October 1871, the President of the United States was Ulysses S. Grant. The fire broke out from October 8 to October 10, devastating large portions of the city and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. Grant's administration responded with federal support for disaster relief efforts, although much of the immediate response was managed locally. The tragedy prompted significant changes in urban planning and fire safety codes in the years that followed.
