About Jewell

Jewell is a city in Jewell County, Kansas, United States. The 2020 census counted 370 residents. Jewell began in 1870 as a large sod enclosure called Fort Jewell. Named in honor of Lieutenant-Colonel Lewis R. Randall and Jewell schools were consolidated into Jewell-Randall schools in the 1960s. That mix gives Jewell a clear local shape within Kansas, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present.
