Rush County, Administrative county in Kansas, United States.
Rush County spans 718 square miles of land in central Kansas, with Walnut Creek intersecting its agricultural territories and rural communities.
The county, established in February 1867 and named after Alexander Rush, underwent a decade-long dispute between La Crosse and Rush Center for county seat status.
The annual county fair, which began in 1910 near Rush Center, continues to gather residents for exhibitions, competitions, and community celebrations.
Two unified school districts, La Crosse USD 395 and Otis-Bison USD 403, provide educational services to students throughout the county territory.
The Alexander Wind Farm, constructed in 2015 south of Alexander, generates 48 megawatts of power, contributing to regional renewable energy production.
