 The city is along the shore of Lake Michigan, and is a part of the Chicago metropolitan area and the North Shore.
 Lake Forest was founded around Lake Forest College and was laid out as a town in 1857 as a stop for travelers making their way south to Chicago.
 The Lake Forest City Hall, designed by Charles Sumner Frost, was completed in 1898 and originally housed the fire department, the Lake Forest Library, and city offices.
 Lake Forest is among the wealthiest cities in the United States.
Norwich Guildhall
Norwich Guildhall (informally the Guildhall) is a historic listed building on Gaol Hill in the city of Norwich, United Kingdom.
 It was constructed between 1407 and 1413 and served as the seat of city government from the early 15th century until 1938, when it was replaced by the newly built City Hall.
 At the time of the building's construction and for much of its history Norwich was one of the largest and wealthiest cities in England, and today the Guildhall is the largest surviving medieval civic building in the country outside London. Shick Shack
Shick Shack (c. 1727 – c. 1835) was a 19th-century Potawatomi chieftain and leader of a band of the Illinois River Potawatomi.
 He was also involved in several conflicts during the Indian Wars, particularly during the Peoria and the Black Hawk Wars.
 He is best known, however, for providing the tribal history of Potawatomi and Kickapoo in Illinois prior to and during the early settlement of the region during the 18th and early 19th century.
 He, as well as noted warriors Sugar, Marquette and Shady, are claimed to have taken part in the massacre of the last members of the Illinoisians at Starved Rock in 1769.
 One of the highest hills in Illinois, Shick Shack Hill (or Shick-Shack's Nob) in Cass County, Illinois bears his name as does Shick Shack Sand Pond Nature Preserve Cass County, Illinois . Beverly Hills Oil Field
The Beverly Hills Oil Field is a large and currently active oil field underneath part of the city of Beverly Hills, California, USA, and portions of the adjacent city of Los Angeles.
 Discovered in 1900, and with a cumulative production of over 150 million barrels of oil, it ranks 39th by size among California's oil fields, and is unusual for being a large, continuously productive field in an entirely urban setting.
 All drilling, pumping, and processing operations for the 97 currently active wells are done from within four large "drilling islands", visible on Pico and Olympic Boulevards as large windowless buildings, from which wells slant diagonally into different parts of the producing formations, directly underneath the multimillion-dollar residences and commercial structures of one of the wealthiest cities in the United States.
 Annual production from the field was 1.09 million barrels in 2006, 966,000 barrels in 2007, and 874,000 in 2008, and the field retains approximately 11 million barrels of oil in reserve, as estimated by the California Department of Conservation.
 The three largest operators as of 2009 were independent oil companies Plains Exploration & Production, BreitBurn Energy, and Venoco, Inc. Dimitrije T. Leko
Dimitrije "Mita" T. Leko (; January 22, 1863, Belgrade, Principality of Serbia – September 24, 1914, Kragujevac, Kingdom of Serbia) was a renowned Serbian architect and urbanist.
 He spent most of his life outside Serbia and finished high school in Winterthur before studying architecture at the universities in Zürich ("Technische Hochschule"), Aachen, and Munich.
 After returning to Belgrade at the end of the 19th century, he tried to implement the model of contemporary urbanism of western Europe in Belgrade.
 He designed some of the most important and technically perfected buildings in Belgrade of his time, such as the Belgrade Meteorological Station in 1891, the Vučo House on Slavija Square in 1893 (the first McDonald's restaurant in Eastern Europe was opened in this building on March 24, 1988), the New Military Academy on Nemanja Street ("Немањина улица") in 1899 (today's Belgrade City Museum), the Athens Palace on Terazije Square in 1902, Đorđe Vučo's house on the Sava River on Karađorđe Street ("Карађорђева улица") in 1908, the school buildings in Mackenzie Street ("Улица Макензијева") and Gavrilo Princip Street ("Улица Гаврила Принципа") and many other structures and mansions.
 He also designed a chapel that was built to enclose what was left of the Skull Tower in Niš.
 Several of his works were financed by one of the wealthiest merchants in Belgrade at the end of the 19th century, Đorđe Vučo.
 Leko also won first prizes on the open competitions for the regulation of Terazije Square, Little Kalemegdan, and the city of Skopje.
 However, these projects were never fully realized. Upper ten thousand
Upper Ten Thousand, or simply, "The Upper Ten", is a 19th century phrase referring to wealthiest 10,000 residents of New York City.
 The phrase was coined by 1844 by American poet and author Nathaniel Parker Willis.
 Soon, the term came to be used to describe the upper circles not only of New York, but also those of other major cities. Arab immigration to the United States
Arab immigration to the United States began when Arab accompanied Spanish explorers to the US in the 15th century.
 During the Revolutionary War, horses exported from Algeria replenished the American cavalry and Morocco was the first country to officially recognize the independence of the United States in 1787 in what is known as the "treaty of Friendship".
 However, Arabs did not start immigrating to the United States in significant numbers until the 19th century.
 Since the first major wave of Arab immigration in the late 19th century, the majority of Arab immigrants have settled in or near large cities.
 Roughly 94 percent of all Arab immigrants live in metropolitan areas, and nearly one third of all Arab Americans live in or around just three cities: New York, Los Angeles and Detroit.
 While most Arab-Americans have similarly settled in just a handful of major American cities, they form a fairly diverse population representing nearly every country and religion from the Arab world. John O'Fallon
John O'Fallon (1791 – December 17, 1865) was a businessman, philanthropist, and military officer.
 During the 19th century he rose to become the wealthiest person in St. Louis, Missouri.
 He is the namesake of O'Fallon, Illinois, (incorporated in 1874) as well as O'Fallon, Missouri and the nephew of William Clark. Edward Drinker Cope House
The Edward Drinker Cope House is a historic house at 2100-2102 Pine Street in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
 Built in 1880, it was a longtime home of Edward Drinker Cope (1840-1897), a prolific geologist and paleontologist and noted herpetologist who was one of the leading natural scientists of the 19th century United States.
 It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975.
