Saline County, Kansas

Saline County is a hub of activity in central Kansas. The town of Salina serves as the county seat and the heart of the area.

Interstate 70 and Interstate 135 intersect here. It’s pretty much a crossroads for travel and commerce. Because of its central location, the county is a magnet for culture, commerce, and community gatherings.

With a population of over 54,000, Saline County has some of the big-city amenities. A decent-sized airport, the Stiefel Theatre, The Rolling Hills Zoo, and more. Agriculture is still a major player, but Salina’s art scene and events like the Smoky Hill River Festival keep things lively.
