Neodesha

The landscape around Neodesha is a low, wooded river valley in southeastern Kansas, which has shaped both the town’s layout and its long connection with industry. Neodesha stands where the Fall River joins the Verdigris River, in Wilson County’s rolling prairie country. Oil transformed the community after the Norman No. 1 well struck oil nearby in 1892; it is widely recognized as the first commercial oil well west of the Mississippi River. Its compact downtown and river setting place Neodesha within the broader Verdigris Valley, a region of farms, small towns, and oil history.
