Ellis

The landscape around Ellis is a broad High Plains valley along the Smoky Hill River, which has shaped both the town’s linear form and local agricultural economy. Set beside a major Union Pacific rail route in western Kansas, Ellis developed around the railroad and still reflects that heritage in the Ellis Railroad Museum. The town is also associated with Walter P. Chrysler, whose boyhood home is preserved here; he later founded the Chrysler Corporation. Grain fields, open prairie and the river corridor give the community a distinctly western Kansas setting, while Interstate 70 keeps it connected to larger routes across the state.
