About Bonfield
Bonfield is a village in Kankakee County, Illinois, United States. Bonfield's population was 351 at the 2020 census. It is included in the Kankakee-Bradley, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Although founded by a quarryman, Thomas Verkler, the village was named after Thomas Bonfield, an attorney for the Kankakee & Seneca Railroad Company, which established a depot in the village. The railroad has long since disappeared into history but it had been on Johnson Street. Old railroad spikes and ties might still be found around the limestone quarry. The depot was moved about a mile and a half south of the village and converted to a barn, which remained in December 2007. The town had a high school, but it burned down in the early 1930s. Students then went to Herscher High School in Herscher.
