About Selden

Selden is a small, quiet town in northwest Kansas, located in Sheridan County right along U.S. Highway 83. Most everyday stops are situated right along the main stretch, including the local grocery store, post office, library, and hometown cafes. With wide residential streets and a relaxed pace, it offers an easygoing rural lifestyle where neighbors know each other by name.

For families, the Golden Plains school district keeps its elementary school right in Selden, along with the Little Paws Daycare for younger children. Older students make the quick trip over to Rexford for middle and high school. Daily activities tend to center around the city park, walking trail, and local ball field, especially during youth baseball games in the summer and the town's annual Fourth of July fireworks show.
