About Gypsum

Located about 15 miles southeast of Salina, Gypsum is a quiet prairie town of roughly 400 residents. The community gets its name from local 19th-century gypsum mines that famously supplied plaster for the 1892 Chicago World's Fair, though today life here centers around farming and family. Living in Gypsum gives you the relaxed, friendly feel of small-town Kansas, along with a quick 20-minute commute to Salina for work, shopping, and healthcare. Local students attend the Southeast of Saline school district, making the town a great fit for anyone wanting country living with city conveniences nearby.
