The Union Stock Yard & Transit Co., or The Yards, was the meatpacking district in Chicago for more than a century, starting in 1865. The district was operated by a group of railroad companies that acquired marshland and turned it into a centralized processing area. By the 1890s, the railroad capital behind the Union Stockyards was Vanderbilt money. The Union Stockyards operated in the New City community area for 106 years, helping Chicago become known as the "hog butcher for the world," the center of the American meatpacking industry for decades. The yards became inspiration for literature, and social reform.

  • Union Stock Yard & Transit Co., ou « The Yards », était le nom du quartier des abattoirs de la ville de Chicago (Illinois) et de l'entreprise spécialisée dans l'industrie de la viande qui lui a donné son nom. Aménagés en 1865 sur un ancien terrain marécageux par des compagnies de chemin de fer, les Union Stock Yards occupaient une grande partie de New City, un secteur de South Side situé à mi-chemin entre l'aéroport international de Midway au sud-ouest et le quartier des affaires de la ville au nord-est.
