Welcome to the political oxymoron known as Liberal, Kansas! Don’t let the name fool you, this town is as redneck as they come, but the people are damn proud of their history, heritage and heresy!

Mr. S.S. Rogers was the first homesteader in what would later become Liberal. Outside of the Cimarron River, water was very scarce in Southwestern Kansas and there was usually a charge for even a small amount; however Mr. Rogers always gave his water free to passing travelers. Quite often he would hear a reply of "that's mighty Liberal of you" from the grateful recipients.

Liberal is located in the heart of the Great Plains with a trading area covering the corners of five states: Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico and Kansas.

Liberal is a city preparing for the future while preserving the best of its past. Liberal has enjoyed a steady population increase of four and five percent over the past few years. Site location consultants are impressed with the advantages that Liberal has to offer expanding and relocating business companies.

Liberal has a hardworking labor force, large tracts of affordable land, enterprise zone incentives, and a pro-business environment. Yet, Liberal retains the charm and beauty of a small rural town with its turn-of-the-century buildings and residences.
