Comment	When the Galena & Chicago Union Railroad was built westward from Chicago in 1848, Cicero became the first western suburb connected to the city by rail. In 1857 inhabitants formed the township of Cicero in order to levy taxes for roads and drainage ditches. In 1869 Cicero was incorporated as a town, and that same year, Chicago annexed 11 square miles along Cicero's eastern edge. The town's population of 3,000 dropped 50 percent as a result.
