The title "Windy City" was given to Chicago by New York Sun editor Charles Dana in 1893. He was tired of hearing long-winded politicians boasting about the wonders of the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago the same year.

The Chicago River is the only river in the world that flows backwards; it was reversed in 1900 by engineers for sanitary purposes. Chicago also dyes the river green on St. Patrick's Day.

Comment: You need to check your facts. According to the official Dunkin' Donuts web site, Dunkin' Donuts was invented in Quincy, Massachusetts, not Chicago, Illinois. Also, according to several sources on the internet, New York City had the first elevated railroad and not Chicago.
