Rush County, Kansas

Rush Location Map Kansas

Rush County is in central Kansas, with just under 3,000 people. Similar to most of Kansas, it’s mostly flat farmland with some gentle hills.

La Crosse is its county seat. It’s known as the “Barbed Wire Capital of the World,” thanks to its unique museum dedicated to this humble invention.

The county has an interesting history with German-Russian immigrants. U.S. Highway 183 runs north to south through the county, keeping it well-connected. It’s a quiet place where agriculture rules.
