When the Town of Chicago was incorporated in 1833, the population was estimated at 150. The colors are representative of the golden wealth of the city, the red blood of her people who made Natchez such a vibrant place, and the blue representing the spirit of unity in her people, making a brighter future through civic pride.Chicago History Magazine, Spring, 1954, Volume III Number 11Ĭhicago, the city, was born on March 4, 1837, the same day that Martin Van Buren took the oath of office at Washington and was inaugurated the president of the United States.
