About Kansas

Kansas is a peaceful village of around 650 residents in eastern Illinois, offering a relaxed rural lifestyle within easy reach of nearby hubs like Charleston and Paris. Originally laid out in the 1850s as a railroad stop, the town keeps its classic Midwestern charm with quiet residential streets, a shady central park, and friendly neighbors. It is the kind of close-knit community where local pride runs deep, right down to the high school gym where students and a PE teacher invented Deckerball back in the 1970s.
