This Immigrant Heritage Month, we honor the vibrant tapestry of cultures that makes Chicago unique and celebrate Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, the city’s first permanent non-Native settler. Born in present-day Haiti and a skilled trader, Du Sable established a thriving settlement at the mouth of the Chicago River in the late 1700s, a place that would grow into the world-class city we know today.

His entrepreneurial spirit forged a bridge between cultures, working alongside Indigenous communities and forging connections across nations and peoples.

Today, Chicago thrives thanks to generations of immigrants whose determination, innovation, and courage continue to shape our neighborhoods, our food, our arts, and our shared future.

To all who call this city home: thank you for bringing your heritage, your voice, and your dreams to Chicago.

Chicago stands as a testament to the strength that emerges when diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences come together with a shared sense of purpose. Across its many neighborhoods, the city has long fostered a culture of respect, resilience, and mutual support. As Chicago continues to evolve, we remain committed to upholding the values that define our community: dignity, inclusion, and the belief that every individual should feel a genuine sense of belonging. Together, we shape a city where all can contribute, participate, and thrive.
