About Palco

Palco is a quiet, tight-knit community tucked away in northwest Kansas's Rooks County. Home to just over 200 residents, the town got its start in the late 1880s as a Union Pacific railroad stop, taking its name from two rail executives, Palmer and Cole. Today, it offers a peaceful, slow-paced lifestyle with wide-open prairie skies and neighbors who truly look out for one another. It’s an easygoing spot for anyone drawn to the quiet rhythm of rural Midwest living.
