About

Tekonsha, with a population of approximately 715, is located on the banks of the St. Joseph River, in South-central Calhoun County. The area, which had long been the home of the Potawatomi Native American tribe, was given it's name, to commerate a honored Potawatomi Indian Chief, Tekonquasha. First settled by the white settlers in the early 1830's, with the original plat laid out in 1836, the Village was incorporated in 1877, and the Allen, Waldo and Meadow Additions subsequently were added in later years.

Access to numerous area lakes offers a wide variety of recreational options. A new medical facility, affiliated with Oaklawn Hospital, in Marshall, now provides local quality medical care. The village has an impressive newly constructed library building, located next to the school, for our residents use. Three local churches, several service clubs and organizations, as well as a senior citizen dining facility provide services to the elderly and those in need in the community.

In summary, Tekonsha is a friendly, active example of life in rural America, which offers the benefits of urbanization while maintaining a quiet, friendly atmosphere. We recognize and welcome the need for growth to remain vital but we plan to implement that growth in an orderly and planned manner, which will provide new opportunities for the citizens of Tekonsha and the surrounding area, while maintaining the atmosphere and quality of life that makes Tekonsha a nice place to live.
