About Zenda

Zenda is a Kingman County city founded in 1887 and named for Anthony Hope's novel The Prisoner of Zenda. The town's name gives its settlement story a literary edge, but its present connections are practical: Cunningham-West Kingman County USD 332 serves the surrounding rural area, and county roads link Zenda with Cunningham and other Kingman County communities. The city sits in the open south-central Kansas prairie, where a small grid, local government, and school district preserve the scale of a late-nineteenth-century town.
