About Lockport

Lockport is a Will County city about 30 miles southwest of Chicago, closely tied to the Illinois and Michigan Canal. Its historic canal headquarters building now houses the Illinois and Michigan Canal Museum, which gives the city a stronger local story than many outer suburbs. Lockport also has old industrial corridors, established neighborhoods, schools, and access to the larger southwest suburban job market. The canal history is not just background here; it is part of the town's visible fabric.
