"Every town has a route of origin. It might be an old Native American trail, a wagon road, a stagecoach route, or an interstate highway, and technically, it might not even be a road. It could be a railroad line. Our rivers and canals had landings and ferry crossings that became fertile ground for taverns and stores and blacksmith shops, many of them seeds that sprouted into villages and towns. Eventually, enough had sprouted to form the state of Illinois."
