About Paxico

Paxico is a city in Wabaunsee County, Kansas, United States. The 2020 census counted 210 residents. Paxico, originally called Strong Mill, was established in 1879 about one mile east of the present town site. A post office was set up and named Paxico, in honor of the Potawatomi medicine man Pashqua. Paxico Meatloaf Festival and Car Show is held on the fourth Saturday in June. Paxico Blues Fest is held on the third Saturday in September. USD 329 was formed by school unification that consolidated Alma, Maple Hill, McFarland, and Paxico. Paxico makes sense once you see how its past, landscape, and current gathering spots overlap. The useful thing to know about Paxico is that its older landmarks and current settings belong to one connected place.
