Cicero, Illinois

Cicero, originally known as Hawthorne, is a suburb of Chicago located in Cook County, Illinois, United States. As per the 2020 census, the population was 85,268, making it the 11th largest municipality in Illinois. The town of Cicero is named after Marcus Tullius Cicero, a renowned Roman statesman and orator.

History

Initially, Cicero Township covered an area six times larger than its current territory. Portions of Cicero Township were incorporated to form the cities of Oak Park and Berwyn, while other parts, like Austin, were annexed into Chicago.

In 1911, the Cicero Flying Field, the town's first aircraft facility, was established by the Aero Club of Illinois. Notable aviators such as Hans-Joachim Buddecke and Lincoln Beachey flew from there during the pioneer era of aviation in the United States.

Cicero gained notoriety during the Prohibition era as Al Capone established his criminal empire in the city to evade the Chicago police. The 1924 municipal elections in Cicero were marred by violence due to gang-related activities aiming to influence the outcome.
