Kankakee County
Founded February 11, 1853
An act of the Illinois Legislature created Kankakee County out of the north part of Iroquois County and the south part of Will County in February 1853.
The six original townships were Yellowhead, Rockville, Bourbonnais, Momence, Aroma Park, and Limestone. The population of the new county was about 8,000. In 1855 the two western townships of Norton and Essex, were taken from Vermilion County and added to Kankakee County.
The county was named for the Kankakee River.
