Resolution C-326: Water Warning
January 30, 2025
*
*
*
*
*
* Victoria is located in eastern Ellis County, just south of I-70. From the interstate, the country looks flat, but south of town the Smoky Hill River has carved a huge valley. It was settled by immigrants from two cultures and has a rich past. A historical marker on the south side of town describes its early settlers.
*
*
Today it's a prosperous, tightly-knit community that offers traditional small town values just minutes from the nearby city of Hays and from Fort Hays State University.
*
*
The limestone St. Fidelis Church, commonly referred to as the Cathedral of the Plains, is a magnificent Catholic church built by German settlers.
*
*
Before the town existed, the Kansas Pacific railroad was built through here. A memorial just off old US-40 honors six laborers killed by Cheyenne Indians as they worked on the track. Click the picture for more information.
*
*
The traditions of the German immigrants who settled here are honored with statues and a bronze tablet. Click the picture for more information.
*
*
The home of George Grant, who introduced Aberdeen-Angus cattle to the US, still stands and is a historic site. The house is 5 miles south of town, and 2 miles east. Grant's cemetery is on the southern edge of Victoria. Click the picture for more information.
