[2] Peotone was formed from the eastern half of Wilton Township at an unknown date.

While I-57 borders Peotone's west village limits, Route 50 passes through the east side of town.

Running parallel to Route 50 for much of its path through Peotone Township is the Canadian National Railway.

The Peotone Township stretch of Route 45 was completely resurfaced during the summer of 2008, following a winter full of angry motorists complaining about the serious pothole condition of the highway, which had gotten to be a public safety hazard.

At the northwest corner of Peotone-Wilmington Road and West Street, the Will County Fairgrounds provides a great place to meet up with friends and family and say goodbye to summer every August.
