About Centralia

Centralia is a city in Nemaha County, Kansas, United States. The 2020 census counted 485 residents. Centralia was founded in 1859, one mile north of the present town. When a railroad was built through the territory in 1867, Centralia was moved to the site. That mix gives Centralia 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. This climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot summers and cold winters.
