'''Rantoul''' is a village in [[Champaign County, Illinois|Champaign County]], [[Illinois]], [[United States]]. The population was 12,371 at the 2020 census.
==History==
The community was named after [[Robert Rantoul, Jr.]], a U.S. representative from Massachusetts, and a director of the [[Illinois Central Railroad]].<ref name=Callary>{{cite book|last=Callary|first=Edward|title=Place Names of Illinois|year=2009|publisher=University of Illinois Press|location=Urbana and Chicago|isbn=978-0-252-03356-8|pages=290}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Illinois Central Magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3WI3AQAAMAAJ&pg=PT46|year=1922|publisher=Illinois Central Railroad Company|page=46}}</ref>
Rantoul was laid out in 1854 for the [[Illinois Central Railroad]] by John Penfield. A post office was established in 1856 as Rantoul Station; the name was changed to Rantoul in May 1862.<ref name=Callary />
In 1917, Rantoul was chosen by the [[United States Army]] to be the site of [[Chanute Field]],<ref>{{cite web|title=[pamphlet]|url=http://www.aeromuseum.org/pdf/Chanute_Museum_Brochure2-1.pdf|work=Chaunte Air Museum|publisher=Octave Chanute Aerospace Heritage Foundation|access-date=May 19, 2012}}</ref> due to its proximity to the Illinois Central railroad and the War Department's ground school at the [[University of Illinois]]. In the 1930s, Chanute Field grew, dominating the local economy as thousands of airmen were stationed there to train recruits. Renamed [[Chanute Air Force Base]] after [[World War II]], it was closed in 1993, but was partly reoccupied by the [[Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum]], which was permanently closed on December 30, 2015, and the [[Rantoul National Aviation Center]]. Rantoul's economy has taken a sharp decline due to the base's closing, from which it has never recovered. The book ''Eye of the Storm: Chanute Closes'' by Katy B. Podagrosi tells the story of this period.
There is an outdoor sports complex coming in 2021.

In the 1930s, Chanute Field grew, dominating the local economy as thousands of airmen were stationed there to train recruits. Renamed [[Chanute Air Force Base]]jndkjasvdls;dok after [[World War II]], it was closed in 1993, but was partly reoccupied by the [[Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum]], which was permanently closed on December 30, 2015, and the [[Rantoul National Aviation Center]]. Rantoul's economy has taken a sharp decline due to the base's closing, from which it has never recovered. The book ''Eye of the Storm: Chanute Closes'' by Katy B. Podagrosi tells the story of this period.

<p>The community was named after <a href="/wiki/Robert_Rantoul,_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="Robert Rantoul, Jr.">Robert Rantoul, Jr.</a>, a U.S. representative from Massachusetts, and a director of the <a href="/wiki/Illinois_Central_Railroad" title="Illinois Central Railroad">Illinois Central Railroad</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Callary_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Callary-3">[3]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup>
</p><p>Rantoul was laid out in 1854 for the <a href="/wiki/Illinois_Central_Railroad" title="Illinois Central Railroad">Illinois Central Railroad</a> by John Penfield. A post office was established in 1856 as Rantoul Station; the name was changed to Rantoul in May 1862.<sup id="cite_ref-Callary_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Callary-3">[3]</a></sup>
</p><p>In 1917, Rantoul was chosen by the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">United States Army</a> to be the site of <a href="/wiki/Chanute_Field" class="mw-redirect" title="Chanute Field">Chanute Field</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a></sup> due to its proximity to the Illinois Central railroad and the War Department's ground school at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Illinois" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Illinois">University of Illinois</a>. In the 1930s, Chanute Field grew, dominating the local economy as thousands of airmen were stationed there to train recruits. Renamed <a href="/wiki/Chanute_Air_Force_Base" title="Chanute Air Force Base">Chanute Air Force Basejndkjasvdls</a>;dok after <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, it was closed in 1993, but was partly reoccupied by the <a href="/wiki/Octave_Chanute_Aerospace_Museum" title="Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum">Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum</a>, which was permanently closed on December 30, 2015, and the <a href="/wiki/Rantoul_National_Aviation_Center" title="Rantoul National Aviation Center">Rantoul National Aviation Center</a>. Rantoul's economy has taken a sharp decline due to the base's closing, from which it has never recovered. The book <i>Eye of the Storm: Chanute Closes</i> by Katy B. Podagrosi tells the story of this period.
