Morton College

Morton College is a public community college in Cicero, Illinois. It is the second-oldest community college in the state only after Joliet Junior College.

It is named after Julius Sterling Morton, a Nebraska newspaper editor and politician who served as President Grover Cleveland's Secretary of Agriculture.
