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.

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas
"We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays." -- Persius, first century Roman poet
