Goodland, County seat in Sherman County, Kansas.
Goodland is the county seat of Sherman County in northwestern Kansas and sits at 1,122 meters elevation where Interstate 70 crosses K-27. The city lies near the Colorado border and works as a hub for this sparsely populated region of the High Plains.
The city started in 1887 as the county seat after a competitive vote among four communities, with locals securing county records from the rival town of Eustis. This dramatic early event shaped how the place developed and made it the main center for the surrounding region.
The High Plains Museum displays objects from local history, including a replica of an early gyrocopter that shows how people in this region thought about farming and innovation.
The city sits conveniently at the crossing of two main routes, making it easy to pass through and navigate. Local schools and the technical college are centrally located, so visitors can easily find and visit these places.
A large artwork based on Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers rises from the flat landscape and feels surprising in this part of the state. The oversized painting serves as a striking landmark for travelers on the interstate and mixes high culture with the simple prairie surroundings.
