About Salina

Salina is a central Kansas city and the county seat of Saline County, with about forty-seven thousand residents. Its name comes from the salty Saline River, and its location makes it a practical hub on the plains rather than a suburb of a larger city. Salina serves surrounding farm and small-town communities with health care, shopping, arts, and regional services. It feels steady, work-focused, and distinctly central Kansas.
