Which Illinois city did Hubble's family move to in 1900?

Hubble’s family moved to Wheaton, Illinois, in 1900.

Edwin Hubble was born in Marshfield, Missouri, in 1889. His father, John Powell Hubble, worked in insurance, and the family relocated to Wheaton when Edwin was still a child. Wheaton became the setting for his secondary education and an important link in the path that eventually led him to astronomy.

Hubble attended Wheaton High School, where he was known as much for athletics as academics. He excelled in track, basketball, football, and other sports, and graduated in 1906. A scholarship then took him to the University of Chicago, where he studied subjects including physics and astronomy.

A common mix-up is confusing Wheaton with Chicago, where Hubble later studied, or with Louisville, where he spent part of his early adulthood. His family’s 1900 move was specifically to Wheaton. Hubble later returned to astronomy after studying law at Oxford and teaching in Indiana, eventually becoming one of the leading observers of galaxies and cosmic expansion.
