| There are 49
communities in the I&M Canal National Heritage Corridor, ranging
from small towns such as Carbon Hill and Seneca to large cities like
Chicago and Joliet. Either directly or indirectly the I&M Canal
helped shape all of them. Each community has its own unique story to
tell. Below are histories of selected corridor communities. More
