About Mahaska

Tucked away in northern Washington County near the Nebraska border, Mahaska is a peaceful rural community with fewer than fifty residents. Named in honor of Chief Mahaska of the Ioway tribe, the town offers a quiet, slow-paced lifestyle surrounded by open Kansas farmland. It sits about ten miles north of U.S. Highway 36, just minutes from the historic 1854 survey marker on the state line that established the 40th parallel. For anyone seeking wide-open spaces and total seclusion, Mahaska provides a true taste of small-town country living.
