Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1871: The Great Chicago Fire erupted, destroying about 3.5 square miles of the city. It took two days to extinguish the fire that killed more than 300 people and left about 100,000 residents homeless. According to legend, it started when Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicked over a lantern in her barn on DeKoven Street.
•	In 1894: The Hershey Chocolate Co., one of the largest chocolate manufacturers in the United States, was founded.
•	In 1978: The Jonestown massacre of the Peoples Temple, a mass murder-suicide instigated by the group’s leader Jim Jones, occurred in Guyana, where the American cult had taken refuge. More than 900 people, including children, were forced to consume cyanide-laced Flavor Aid, resulting in the largest loss of American civilian life in a single event until the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
•	In 1993: The U.N. General Assembly lifted economic sanctions against South Africa following the end of racial apartheid. The sanctions had been imposed since the 1960s.
•	In 1998: The U.S. House of Representatives voted 258-176 to approve a resolution launching an impeachment inquiry of President Bill Clinton. It was only the third time in U.S. history the House launched a formal impeachment inquiry of a sitting president
•	In 2001: U.S. President George W. Bush announced the creation of the Office of Homeland Security in response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The office later became the Department of Homeland Security, a federal agency responsible for coordinating the country’s defense against terrorism and ensuring national security.
