About Hill City

Serving as the seat of Graham County, Hill City is a welcoming northwest Kansas community with deep roots in farming and ranching. Life here revolves around a classic courthouse square, where local businesses and county offices give the small town a steady, active rhythm. Running right along Highway 24, it offers wide-open High Plains scenery and an easy, neighborly pace that makes newcomers feel at home right away.

Daily living is anchored by the local schools, community parks, and a proud history tied to both agriculture and regional oil production. You can explore that heritage at the local Oil Museum or spend an afternoon outdoors along the Solomon River valley and nearby reservoirs. With quiet neighborhoods, friendly gatherings, and essential services all in one place, Hill City provides a relaxed, small-town atmosphere with plenty of room to breathe.
