History and specifics[]
Chicago destruction during the Eugenics Wars.
During the early part of the 1920s, organized crime became a powerful fixture in the city of Chicago, to the point that conventional city government nearly fell apart. In the early 1990s, Pocket Books published a book titled Chicago Mobs of the Twenties, detailing the history of the Mob during that time period. A copy of the book later was left on the planet Sigma Iotia II by the Earth ship USS Horizon. The Iotians saw the society depicted in the book as a perfect society, and rebuilt their society along those lines. (TOS episode: "A Piece of the Action")
On 1 May 2053, the Eastern Coalition detonated a nuclear bomb above Chicago. (Speculations - Strange New Worlds 9 short story: "The Immortality Blues")

In 2279, Starfleet assigned the USS Enterprise to a time travel mission to return to 1983 and prevent Earth's Icarus plague. However, the USS Enterprise inadvertently arrived in an alternate timeline. In that timeline, James T. Kirk, Spock, and Montgomery Scott beamed down to Chicago to confirm that they were at the right point in 1983. Immediately two boys recognized them, thinking at first that they were characters from the Star Trek TV series, then realizing they were from the 23rd century. The two Chicagoans were beamed aboard. Later the boys tried to escape by stealing a two-man shuttlecraft. (TOS comic: "Getting Real")
