About Wheeling
Wheeling is a village located in Cook and Lake counties in Illinois. It was first settled in the early 19th century and was originally named "Little Fort" after a nearby fort built during the Black Hawk War. The name was later changed to Wheeling in reference to Wheeling, Virginia (now West Virginia), as many of the early settlers were from that area. The village grew rapidly in the late 19th century due to the construction of the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company's rail line, which provided a vital link for freight transportation between Chicago and the rest of the country.
Today, Wheeling continues to be a hub for freight transportation with its proximity to major highways and rail lines. The village is home to several distribution centers and logistics companies, making it an important center for the movement of goods. In addition, the village has a strong manufacturing sector, with many companies producing goods that are shipped both domestically and internationally. With its strategic location and transportation infrastructure, Wheeling plays a crucial role in the supply chain and contributes to the economic growth of the region.
