context_page_description: The Fulton-Randolph Market District, often shortened to, Fulton Market, is a district on the Near West Side of Chicago. Through the 19th and 20th centuries it served meat-packing, warehouse and industrial purposes, but has gentrified in the 21st century with corporate headquarters, tech industry, hotels, bars, restaurants, and retail. Randolph Street and Lake Street are the main East-West streets, and Halsted Street is the major North-South artery. The district's name commemorates American inventor Robert Fulton and it is located just across the expressway from the Fulton River District to the east.
  Granted Landmark District status by the City of Chicago in 2015, the district is around 74 acres in size. The district is served by the CTA's Green and Pink Lines at the Morgan 'L' station, as well as several bus routes.
  In the 2010s it attracted both corporate and regional headquarters for many corporations including McDonald's, Google, Dyson, Herman Miller, and Mondelez among others.
