About Hanston

Hanston is a city in Hodgeman County, Kansas, United States. The 2020 census counted 259 residents. Hanston was originally called Marena, and under the latter name was laid out in 1878. Hanston was renamed Hanston in 1902, taking its name from the local Hann family. In 2011 it absorbed the former Hanston USD 228, which had dissolved.
