About Syracuse

Syracuse sits along Highway 50 in southwest Kansas, just a short drive from the Colorado border and right near the Arkansas River. As the Hamilton County seat, this quiet prairie town has deep roots going back to the old Santa Fe Railway days, including a proud claim to history when it elected the nation's first all-woman city council in 1889. For anyone considering a move out here, Syracuse offers wide-open spaces, a relaxed rural pace, and easy access to the river and local community parks.
