About Stafford

Stafford got its start in the late 1870s and sits right in the heart of Stafford County along Highway 50. Early residents proved their grit almost immediately when a tornado swept through on election day in 1882, scattering ballot boxes across the prairie before the town pulled together to rebuild within a year. Today, it offers a peaceful small-town Kansas atmosphere surrounded by wide-open farmland and big prairie skies.

Daily life here revolves around close community ties and local pride. Families appreciate the Stafford school district, where students from kindergarten through high school learn on a single campus, making it easy for neighbors to stay connected and cheer on the local teams. Between the local museum preserving generations of county history and the easy drive to outdoor spots like Quivira National Wildlife Refuge, Stafford offers a quiet, welcoming place to put down roots.
