Live Lincoln County – Post Rock Capital of Kansas

What we love about Lincoln County

Lincoln County is located in north-central Kansas with big sky vistas and beautiful rolling hills dotted with limestone fence rows that stretch for miles. We are located just far enough from the interstate to feel like we’re off the beaten path but close enough that we can easily be in major cities within a few hours. We have great schools for our kids, we know our neighbors, and we have all the small town conveniences needed such as a grocery store, hardware store, a movie theater, restaurants, art center, and even a new brewery. The only thing missing is you!

What is a Post Rock?

Featured, History

Post Rock Capital of Kansas

Lincoln County officially became a Kansas county in 1870. Early settlers staking their claims and fencing their property lines needed an affordable material to build their fences. In this area of Kansas, near the soil surface, is a layer of limestone rock that is easily quarried and breaks into manageable chunks. Long lines of Post Rock fence posts are still seen today bordering the pastures.

The area known as “Post Rock Country” stretches for approximately 200 miles from the Nebraska border on the north to Dodge City on the south. The limestone that is found here comes from the uppermost bed of the Greenhorn Formation. It was out of necessity that settlers in the late 1800s began turning back the sod and cutting posts from the layer of rock that lay underneath. By the mid-1880s limestone fence posts were in general use because of the widespread use of barbed wire. read more…
