Kouts is a close-knit community built on character and pride and rich in history. Named after the Barnhardt Kouts family, Kouts officially became a community in 1865 for the early settlers coming to this area along the Kankakee River. It was incorporated in 1921, when electricity first came into town.
We've come a long way since explorers Marquette and LaSalle traveled through the area in the late 1600s.
With our schoools, churches and other community organizations guiding our community leadership, we have a bright future ahead as we seek to become a model community in the new millennium.
We invite you to join us in our endeavor!
