About Colwich

Located about twenty minutes northwest of downtown Wichita, Colwich offers the quiet charm of small-town Kansas alongside an easy commute into the city. Home to roughly 1,500 residents, the town was founded in 1887 and got its distinctive name by blending the Colorado and Wichita Railroad lines that once ran through it. Today, peaceful residential streets, tidy neighborhoods, and open prairie views give the community a comfortable, unhurried feel.
