About Morris

Morris is a Grundy County city on the north side of the Illinois River, southwest of Chicago. It sits along U.S. Route 6 and Illinois Route 47, with river access, industry, and a historic downtown all shaping the place. The Allen Paper Car Wheel Works once supplied the Pullman Palace Car Company, a reminder of Morris's industrial past. Today it feels like a small Illinois river city with courthouse-town bones, canal-country history nearby, and Chicago close enough to influence growth.
