==History==
The historic district reflects the history of Morris, Illinois as a canal town on the Illinois & Michigan Canal. Named after canal commissioner Isaac N. Morris, the town was named the Grundy County seat in 1841 and was originally platted a year later. The earliest of the buildings were built in the 1850s, shortly after the canal and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad were completed in 1848 and 1853, respectively. Morris became an important transportation hub. Commercial development began north of the canal along Illinois (originally Canal) and Washington Streets. They were home to livery, blacksmith, and harness businesses. Future Lieutenant Governor of Illinois Lyman Ray opened the town's first dry goods store.
The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 31, 2006.〔
