Frankfurt am Main -------- Known in US as Frankfurt only

Frankfurt, is the largest city in the German state of Hesse and the fifth-largest city in Germany,
with a population of about 670,000.

In English, this city's name translates into "Frankfurt on the Main" (pronounced like "mine"). A part of early Franconia, the inhabitants were the early Franks. The city is located on an ancient ford on the river Main, the German word for which is "Furt". Thus the city's name receives its legacy as being the "ford of the Franks".

Lockport, Illinois (est. 1830) gets its name from Lock No. 1 of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, which allowed boat transportation from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River. The I&M Canal was overtaken by the railroads, though. Lockport is also at the point where the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal meets up with the DesPlaines River. Lots of waterway history there.
