No caption. Commemorative U.S. postage stamp issued in 1933 for Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition, celebrating the one-hundred year anniversary of Chicago's incorporation. This stamp features Fort Dearborn, a fort built in 1803 in what is now Chicago proper. While the original fort was destroyed during the War of 1812, and the second fort which replaced it was destroyed by fires in 1857 and 1871, a replica was constructed for the Exposition.
Date: 1933
