Welcome to Hillsboro!

Hillsboro is a progressive Kansas community located at the thresholds of the Marion Reservoir and the beautiful Flint Hills. Hillsboro residents enjoy a family-friendly atmosphere, schools that are among the best in the state, and a thriving business community. Hillsboro features plenty of opportunities for work, play and a great quality of life. State Highways 56 and 15 intersect Hillsboro to provide less than an hour’s drive to Wichita to the south, Salina to the north, Hutchinson to the west and Emporia to the east, giving residents and visitors a quiet small-town atmosphere with access to all the amenities of larger cities.
