About Bucklin

Bucklin is a quiet, close-knit community of around 700 people tucked along U.S. Route 54 in southwestern Kansas. Originally settled in the late 1880s as a bustling Rock Island railroad hub, it has settled into a peaceful agricultural town with a relaxed, neighborly pace. Residents enjoy reliable city services, an easy thirty-minute drive to Dodge City, and the open space of the High Plains.
