Ford County, Administrative division in Kansas, United States

Ford County is an administrative division in southwestern Kansas, encompassing farmland, ranching areas, and small towns. The region is characterized by open plains, scattered settlements, and a mix of rural and small-town life.

Ford County was established in 1867 during westward expansion, when settlers moved into the prairie region. Dodge City quickly became the county's main administrative and economic hub.

The county maintains multiple agricultural festivals throughout the year, connecting local farmers with regional markets and community celebrations.

When visiting, note that the area is spread out and a car is needed to explore different locations across the region. Spring through fall offers the best visiting conditions, with stable weather and local events happening throughout these seasons.

Ford County holds regular public auctions of surplus equipment and vehicles, allowing residents to purchase government-maintained machinery at reduced prices.
