Manteno History
Manteno, a village in Kankakee county, was named after the daughter of one of the region's earliest settlers, Francois Bourbonnais, Jr.; however, the spelling of the name varies from book to book: Oliver W. Barnard spells it as Mantenau, some as Mawteno, and others as Manteno. It is believed that the name is an Anglicized version of a Potawatomi word, 'manito' or 'manitou', meaning 'spirit'. Due to her Indian origin, the settler's daughter was granted a section of land in the present-day territory of northeastern Kankakee county by the treaty of Camp Tippecanoe, which took city on December 20, 1832. Originally, both Kankakee and Iroquois counties were part of the Will county, Illinois. The Kankakee county was incorporated on February 11, 1853, comprising of six townships. Manteno remained a part of the township of Rockville until it was officially incorporated on March 12, 1855.
