While many cities on the American frontier were closely tied to mining, such as Denver and Virginia City, Chicago was not primarily a mining city. Instead, Chicago developed as a hub for trade and transportation, benefiting from its strategic location near the Great Lakes and its role in the railway network. It became a center for commerce and manufacturing rather than mining activities.
