Its diverse population grew rapidly as many urban residents were left homeless after the 1871 Great Chicago Fire and sought a more suburban lifestyle. A strong central business district developed with a market area reaching as far west as the Fox River communities in Illinois and as far north as Wisconsin. Beginning in the 1950s the powerful nationwide movement of people and businesses to the suburbs was being evidenced and was captured in newspaper headlines and books, such as the classic Jane Jacobs publication of The Death and Life of Great American Cities in 1961. The death of traditional central business districts all over the nation was being forecasted, if not already underway. This trend was evidenced in Chicago and became a reality in Evanston when the Old Orchard regional shopping center opened in 1956, just three miles away in Skokie. Evanston responded.
