Morrison, Illinois

Morrison is a city in Whiteside County, Illinois, United States. The population was 4,188 at the 2010 census, down from 4,447 in 2000. It is the county seat of Whiteside County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 It is located on the Historic Lincoln Highway, the nation’s first transcontinental highway and in Morrison was the site of two concrete "seedling miles",〔Illinois Department of Transportation: ''Historic Lincoln Highway'', http://www.dot.state.il.us/il50/lincoln_highway.html, accessed 15 October 2013.〕 which served as prototypes of what an improved highway could do for the nation.
==History==
In 1854, Lyman Johnson 〔History of Whiteside County, (page 305 ) mentions history of Morrison, IL.〕 and H. S. Vroom were already in what would become the City of Morrison as contractors and builders for the Air-line railroad, now the Union Pacific Railroad. Johnson and Vroom, along with several other entrepreneurs, acquired the land that would surround the rail station that was planned here. They managed the work of surveyor W.S. Wilkinson in the layout of the future town in 1855. Among these entrepreneurs were W.H. Van Epps. Lyman Johnson decided to call the town Morrison, in honor of Charles Morrison, a friend of Van Epps and a wealthy merchant from New York, who promised financial support in the way of loans for the town’s development. Shortly thereafter, Morrison suffered severe financial losses and he was unable to participate, yet his name remained.
