You can find us in Jefferson Township on the western edge of Central Indiana, bordering the Illinois State Line. We’re a diamond in the rough, ideally positioned 85 miles south of Chicago and 105 miles north of Indianapolis. Our longstanding history dates all the way back to 1860 with a man named Alexander J Kent. During that year, Jasper and Newton had become separate counties, and Kentland was designated as the Newton County Seat. This was during an era of tremendous growth for America. The railroads were pushing westward, and all along their tracks towns were beginning to form.
