This was the location of Chicago's first three [[tavern]]s, its first hotel, [[Sauganash Hotel]], its first [[ferry]], its first drug store, its first church, and the first bridges across the Chicago River. The Wolf Point is said to be named after a Native American Chief whose name meant to wolf in English, but other theories exist. ==References== {{reflist}} ==Other websites== *{{cite book|last=Andreas|first=Alfred Theodore|title=History of Chicago.
