Welcome

Welcome to Waterville, Kansas!

Waterville, Kansas, is a beautiful small town located in Northeast Kansas! It was founded in 1867 as the western end of the Atchison & Pike’s Peak Railroad.  Cowboys on the Chisholm Trail drove cattle to the railroad terminus.  Though it began as a rough cow town, Waterville is known today for its unique small businesses, beautiful Victorian homes and the preservation of the town's history, including the Opera House, Weaver Hotel, and Central Branch Railroad.
