On the banks of the Illinois River, is the patriotic heart of Seneca. Home of the fighting Irish, its rich ancestry and woodland bluff surroundings favor the outdoor life. An I & M Corridor city, built in the mid 1800s, Irish immigrants settled in this community working on the canal to build a better life.
