Enjoy the scenic beauty, rich heritage, and abundant recreational opportunities of Marion, Kansas, “the town between two lakes.” With historic stone buildings, modern school facilities and business opportunities abounding, Marion is a great place to live, raise a family, build a business, work, play and retire.

Marion is a community of 2,000 residents conveniently located in the “Golden Triangle” of Central Kansas. Nestled on the western slope of the Flint Hills, Marion is within 30 to 60 miles of many mid-sized cities. Pioneers were impressed with the beauty of the area, richness of the soil and abundance of water. Those same qualities draw many to Marion today. Marion is also the county seat of Marion County.
