Home, KS

Home, sometimes called Home City, is a tiny rural community sitting right along U.S. 36 in Marshall County. It got its name back in the 1870s after a local postmaster had his first choice rejected and simply sent in "Home," since he was sorting mail out of his own house. It soon developed into a classic Kansas rail stop, handling grain and livestock for surrounding farms and supporting a small cluster of homes, churches, and local businesses.

Living in Home means quiet countryside and plenty of open space, with the convenience of Marysville just a seven-mile drive to the west. Residents head into Marysville for groceries, medical care, and public schools, making Home a practical option for anyone looking for peaceful country living without being cut off from everyday services. It remains a low-key, friendly spot anchored by its farming roots and an easy commute along the highway.
