About Moscow

Set along U.S. Route 56 in southwest Kansas, Moscow is a quiet rural community of around 270 residents where everyone knows their neighbors. Local legend has it that the name was actually a Washington postal clerk's typo, turning the planned name "Mosco" into Moscow. Life here revolves around agriculture, local school events, and the peace of the wide-open plains. It is a warm, unhurried corner of Stevens County, perfect for anyone looking to slow down and enjoy genuine small-town living.
