Known as the “Crossroads of Mid-America,” Joliet earned its reputation over a number of centuries. The area was visited by explorers Louis Jolliet and Father Jacques Marquette on their canoe voyage up the Des Plaines River in 1673. Modes of transportation evolved as the community became a major producer of quarried limestone and steel. The Illinois & Michigan Canal, Rock Island Railroad, Route 66, and the Lincoln Highway are all iconic names associated with Joliet. Today Joliet benefits from two major interstate highways (I-80 and I-55), two Metra commuter lines, Amtrak service, and is the home of the CenterPoint Intermodal Center which is North America’s largest inland port served by Union Pacific and BNSF freight service.
The City is 25 miles from Chicago Midway International Airport and 45 miles from Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Lewis University Airport is located 7 miles from the City, providing corporate and general aviation service. Joliet Regional Airport is a Park District public-use airport located within the City limits.
