Tefft is an unincorporated community in Kankakee Township, Jasper County, Indiana.
Tefft was platted by Isaac Dunn in 1884, and named Dunnville. The name, however, became confused with Danville so Dunnville was renamed Tefft after Dunn's brother-in-law, Dr. Benjamin Franklin Tefft. [4] Dunn also laid out a subdivision, Dunn's Original KKK Pleasure Resort [5] , 2 miles (3 km) north of town, and was responsible for constructing Dunn's Bridge over the Kankakee River.
A post office was established at Tefft in 1883, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 2003. [6]
