Bentley, KS

Bentley is a city in Sedgwick County, Kansas, United States. The 2020 census counted 560 residents. Bentley is located northwest of Wichita, approximately four miles north of K-96 highway at the intersection of 151st W and 109th N. In 1887, the Kansas Midland Railway was built from Wichita to Ellsworth, a distance of 107 miles, and the building of this line bisected Eagle Township and established a depot and town on section 11, Eagle Township. That mix gives Bentley a clear local shape within Kansas, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present. The line was purchased outright by The Frisco on October 1, 1900.
