About location

Severy is best known within Kansas for its role as a rural railroad and highway community in Greenwood County. It lies at the junction of U.S. Route 400 and Kansas Highway 99, amid the rolling tallgrass prairie and working farmland of the Flint Hills. Severy was established in 1879 and named for George Severy, an official of the Kansas City, Lawrence and Southern Kansas Railroad. The compact town follows a familiar southeastern Kansas pattern: a local service centre shaped by road traffic, grain production and livestock farming. Greenwood County forms part of the Flint Hills, the broad belt of limestone hills and native grassland that runs through eastern Kansas.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
