Some call it "out in the middle of nowhere", some just drive by without even knowing it, and some even think it is located in downtown Chicago (Wrong Grant Park).  But to those of us who know Grant Park and love it, it's the perfect place that we like to call home.

Grant Park, Illinois, is ideally located in northeastern Kankakee County, just seven miles from the Indiana/Illinois State Line, five miles south of the Will County line, and only 50 minutes south of Chicago.  It's a great place to escape to the country, yet close enough to commute to Chicago and area suburbs.

As a rural community, Grant Park was built primarily around the family farm - the heart of the people that founded this town.  Throughout the years, it has grown to be much more and continues to develop and prosper.  Some like to refer to Grant Park as one of the "best kept secrets" of the area - or as "a diamond in the rough." And we agree.



Grant Park is the perfect place to own and operate a business.  A 'satellite country office' could be just the right ticket for you new venture.  The heart of Main Street Grant Park offers a combination of historical building and those of modern architecture...the sky's the limit for making your business dream a reality

The village is supported by a strong network of area businesses.  With a population of 1500, Grant Park is a place where you can know your neighbors and appreciate the friendly face and helping hands that greet you.

As you drive (or walk) through the streets of town, you will find several churches, of various denominations, two local hardware stores, the fire protection unit, law enforcement offices, the elementary school (K-5) and the newly built middle school building and recently remodeled high school building for grades 6-12.

From casual to fine dining, to an afternoon in the local park, or a round of golf.  Quaint is a word that often describes Grant Park and what it has to offer.

Grant Park is real people, working together, getting work done and establishing a strong foundation and promising future for its citizens.
