About Ellsworth

Set along the Smoky Hill River in central Kansas, Ellsworth blends legendary Old West history with relaxed small-town living. Once a bustling 1870s cattle shipping hub, today’s community of about 3,000 residents offers quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods and a charming historic downtown. Local employers and regional services keep the town thriving, while good schools and nearby recreation at Kanopolis State Park give residents plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors. It is a welcoming, tight-knit community with deep roots and an easygoing pace.
