State Information

Illinois, home of North America’s tallest building, finds its major sources of business in agriculture, cattle farming and mining. The state’s name is derived from a Native American word meaning “tribe of superior men”, and it became a state on the third of December, 1818.

Illinois is ranked fourth in the nation for housing headquarters of the United States’ largest companies: thirty-five such headquarters find their homes here. Additionally, Chicago’s O’Hare Airport holds the honors of being the world’s busiest, as well as Business Traveler Magazine’s best airport in North America, six years in a row.
