'''Morrison''' is a city and the [[county seat]] of [[Whiteside County, Illinois|Whiteside County]], [[Illinois]], [[United States]]. The population was 4,188 at the 2010 census, down from 4,447 in 2000.<ref name="GR6">{{cite web|url=http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx|access-date=June 7, 2011|title=Find a County|publisher=National Association of Counties}}</ref> 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",<ref name="ILDOT">Illinois Department of Transportation: ''Historic Lincoln Highway'', http://www.dot.state.il.us/il50/lincoln_highway.html, accessed October 15, 2013.</ref> which served as prototypes of what an improved highway could do for the nation.

==History==
In 1854, Lyman Johnson <ref>History of Whiteside County, [https://archive.org/details/historywhitesid00unkngoog/page/n313 <!-- quote=Lyman Johnson Powell Morrison. --> page 305] mentions history of Morrison, IL.</ref> 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,<ref>{{cite book|author=Chicago and North Western Railway Company|title=A History of the Origin of the Place Names Connected with the Chicago & North Western and Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railways|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OspBAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA104|year=1908|page=104}}</ref> 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.

==Industry==
Refrigerator manufacturer, Illinois Refrigerator Company, was organized in 1892 by Edward A. Smith, J.B. Markey, George Brown, F.L. Sands, and F.R. Beals. Later it added school furniture to its line: Columbia School Equipment Company, which was a subsidiary of the Illinois Refrigerator Company. In 1914, Illinois Refrigerator Company acquired equipment to manufacture stoves, establishing the Summit Stove Company. Two additional school furniture companies formed the Illinois Seating Company and built a new factory in Morrison. The Morris and Rich Toy Factory of Sterling, IL moved to Morrison in 1928, locating in part of the Illinois Refrigerator Company building. In November 1929, a fire damaged two warehouses owned by Illinois Refrigerator Company, Rich Manufacturing Company, and Columbia School Equipment Company. The fire destroyed over 4,000 refrigerators and $35,000 worth of toys, including five or more carloads, which were on the nearby railroad tracks. The total loss was estimated at $500,000. By April 1932, the refrigerator company was bankrupt. Soon after, a new corporation was formed: Rich Illinois Manufacturing Company. The company made wood and metal refrigerators, electric refrigerators, toys, furniture, wood ware, and wood and metal fabricated buildings. In 1934, The City Ice and Fuel Company of Cleveland, OH, which operated under the name Ice Cooling Appliance Corporation (ICA), purchased the plant. The toy factory, Rich Illinois Manufacturing, moved to [[Clinton, Iowa]]. In 1954, ICA was sold to American Air Filter Company, Inc. at [[Louisville, Kentucky]], which had consolidated with Herman Nelson Corporation of [[Moline, Illinois]]. In 1957, the Herman Nelson division established a factory in Morrison to manufacture air blowers, small portable heaters, and air conditioners, which eventually closed in 1966, moving to [[Brownsville, Tennessee]].

[[General Electric]] started its Morrison plant in 1949, as a branch of the [[Schenectady, New York]] department. It became the Appliance Control Department in 1952 and was one of the first units to be established in a decentralization program. Early production included relays, switchettes, and sump pump switches, followed by cold and heat controls. In 1952, the manufacture of range timers was transferred to the Morrison factory from [[Somersworth, New Hampshire]]. In ensuing year, gas igniters, thermostats, and small d.c. motors were added. In 1965, a branch plant was established at [[Bridgeport, CT]]; the department's headquarters remained at Morrison. The plant closed in 2010.

Current major employers within the community include Whiteside County government, Morrison Community School District #6, Morrison Community Hospital, Climco Coils, and Resthave Home. Because Morrison is the county seat, professional services such as attorneys, title and survey services, and financial and accounting services are well-represented. The agricultural sector remains a primary source of economic output.

==Healthcare==
The Morrison Community Hospital offers physician coverage, ambulance service, patient transfer helipad, and a skilled care unit. Three fully staffed clinics (CGH Morrison Health & Vision Center, Morrison Family Health Clinic, and Morrison Community Hospital Family Care Clinic), dentists, optometrists, chiropractors, and physical therapists provide additional medical and health services for the community. Three fully licensed long-term care units are also available, offering physical therapy and activity programs.
