How Our Cities
Were Named
By ELEANOR CLAPP.
CHICAGO.

HIcAGO was named long before
the white man set foot IN this
4 country, when there was moth
ing there but thick forest bor-
dering a narrow. branching inlet. The
banks Of this river were covered with
wild onions, so the Indians called It
"Chicagou." which In their language
meant "onion." Some authorities dis
pute this derivation and declare that the
name means not onion" but skunk"
It Is impossible now to tell which Is the
real meaning. Perhaps they both are.
for It may be that the Him. as the
Indians around Lake Michigan called
themselves. had only one word for both
odorous animal and vegetable.
Two hundred and forty-three years
ago two Frenchmen. Louis Joliet and
Pere Marquette. who had been on an
exploring expedition down the Mis-
sissippi, were told by their Indian
guides that they would show them a
short cut into the Lac des Illinois. as
Lake Michigan was then called. So
the party padded up the Illinois river
to the Desplaines. where they landed
and carried their canoes across port
age into what is now the Chicago river
and proceeded down this to the lake.
They were the first white men to pass
the spot where Chicago now stands.
For over a hundred years after this
the region that was afterwards Chi
cago sinks into oblivion. The portage
was not much used by the early
French explorers. La Sale mentions
II in his writings. but there Is no evil
dence that he ever stopped there fol
any length of time. The French seem
to have had a stockade on the spot
but 1t was not until l777 that the frs,
settler appeared This was Jear
Baptiste du Sable. a negro from the
French West Indies, who built the FIRST
house In Chicago and started a trading
post with the Indians. In a few years
he tired of the place and sold his house

10 John Kinsie. This old house, which
was known as the old Kinsie house,
was not torn down until 1887.
In 1904 the United States Government
built a stockade and two block houses
at Chicago, which was called Fort Dear
horn. During the War of 1872 after
Mackinac was captured by tho British
Fort Dearborn was ordered evacuated
and the garrison escorting the womei
and children, set out through the woodi
for Detroit. They had proceeded bu
few miles when they were attacked
by the Indians and all killed or cap
tured. The sayages then burned tn
fort. In 1916 II was rebuilt and a small
village slowly grew up around II, bu
