About Claflin

Claflin is a quiet, welcoming town of about 550 residents in northeastern Barton County. Surrounded by golden wheat fields and big prairie skies, the community offers a calm, easygoing pace of life just a short drive north of the Cheyenne Bottoms wetlands. It is the kind of place where neighbors wave as you drive by and kids can safely ride their bikes down wide, tree-lined streets.

Claflin also serves as a hub for local families, housing Central Plains Jr-Sr High School, where Friday night games and school events bring the whole town out to cheer on the Oilers. For everyday recreation, locals enjoy the Tradition Trail, a mile-long walking path that loops around the school grounds and nearby open fields. It is an appealing landing spot for anyone looking for affordable small-town living, strong community pride, and plenty of room to breathe.
