Goodspeed Publishing was a publishing company based in Chicago, Illinois, that produced and published many works on local history and biography in the 1880s. The works were primarily divided into sections for each county they studied and provide an important snapshot of the lives and the economic situation that existed at that time. The works are viewed as a significant resource for American historians and genealogists because they contain economic data and personal biographies of many prominent citizens.
