Chicago's first non-Indian settler was a black guy from Haiti:

USA TODAY?Verified account @USATODAY

Chicago’s first non-Indian settler was Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, a black man who was born in Haiti.

.....

He settled along the northern bank of the Chicago River near Lake Michigan, where he built a successful trading post and farm.

Du Sable later moved back to Peoria and would die in St. Charles, Mo., but the city proudly boasts of the immigrant’s imprint on what would become one of the nation’s most important economic and cultural hubs.

In fact, a bronze bust of du Sable sits near the Chicago River in the city’s Magnificent Mile shopping and business district and not far from the Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago.
