FACTS ABOUT ILLINOIS
A GREAT TEAM BUILDING LOCATION
Illinois, the “Land of Lincoln” is well know as the place where Abraham Lincoln began the political career that made him one of our nations most revered Presidents. Illinois has always been a center for economic, political and scientific breakthroughs. Illinois was home to the world’s first Skyscraper in 1885 and today is home to The Sears Tower, the tallest building on the North American continent.
Illinois name was given by the state’s explorers after the indigenous Illiniwek people, a consortium of Algonquin tribes that thrived in the area. The word Illiniwek means simply “the people.” Today, Illinois is home to Chicago, the third largest city in the United States. The 2005 total gross state product for Illinois was nearly $550 billion, making it the 5th largest state economy in the nation.
Illinois’ agricultural outputs are corn, soybeans, hogs, cattle, dairy products, and wheat. Its industrial outputs are machinery, food processing, electrical equipment, chemical products, publishing, fabricated metal products, transportation equipment, petroleum and coal.
Illinois is known as the “Land of Lincoln” after Abraham Lincoln, the 16th U.S. President, who is buried in Springfield, Illinois and spent much of his life there before becoming President.
