We Natives of Illinois like to call our state "The Silicon Prairie". Lots and lots of very cool and innovative stuff has come from Illinois. Schockley, Bratton and Bardeen made the first transistor here as well. Ever seen pictures of that first junction? UGLY!!
I thought the first transistor was made in Bell Labs, in New Jersey. http://www.bellsystemmemorial.com/belllabs_transistor.html
