Welcome to Larned, Kansas!

As the county seat in Pawnee County, our small town is home to roughly 3,800 friendly residents. Our community also includes three other charming small towns - Garfield, Rozel, and Burdett. Larned has a lot to offer including a number of thriving small businesses, a robust agriculture industry, and an updated hospital to take care of our residents' healthcare needs. Our strong school district is the pride of our community. We value education and work hard to ensure our children receive the best possible. Larned is a community full of small town pride and appreciation for one another. We're a place where neighbors know each other by name and lend a helping hand when needed. But that's not all - we're also home to a national park, Fort Larned, and are a historical landmark on the Santa Fe Trail.

If you're looking for a place to connect with others, grow, explore, and care for one another, then Larned is the perfect place for you and your family. We can't wait to welcome you!
