Four places on this list are villagewide population figures, not Grundy-County-only counts.
\nChannahon’s 13,383 residents are mostly in Will County — most of the village sits in
\nChannahon Township there, with only a corner reaching into Grundy. Dwight lies mainly in
\nLivingston County, with just a small portion in Grundy. Seneca is almost entirely in LaSalle
\nCounty; a 2006 estimate put only 5 of its then 2,087 residents on the Grundy side. Coal City,
\nDiamond and Godley each straddle the Grundy–Will County line without a published
\ncounty-by-county population split, so their table figures above cover the whole village.<\/p>\n
