Rantoul owes its life to trains. The Illinois Central Railroad laid the town out in 1854, naming it after one of its bigwigs. Then the U.S. Army chose the town for the site of Chanute Field because it was near the railroad. After World War II, the field became Chanute Air Force Base, which eventually closed in 1993.
All those airplanes form one of the perks of living in this village, because they produced a flight museum and a public-use airport. Another perk is a commitment to your livelihood. The village boasts a business incubator for local entrepreneurs. You can also learn about working at local educational institutions, or find a job with major companies. And when you're not working, don't forget the fun with parks, golf courses, and an aquatic facility. View Rantoul City Guide
