“Little Sweden” in Kansas
0 Subscribers Located near the center of the Sunflower State you will find a city whose history – and whose present-day “DNA” – link to old world Europe. And to be more specific, to Sweden.
A city nestled cozily in Kansas’s Smoky Valley. A farming community in the heart of Kansas’s wheat belt.
This city, with a two square mile footprint, and just about 4,000 townsfolk, is Lindsborg. “Little Sweden.”
Lindsborg was settled in 1869 by a group of immigrants from Sweden who ventured into America’s heartland.
Strong City, Kansas by Ted Ihde

Or in Dallas. Or in Chicago. The next time you see one of those BNSF freight trains, you can think about a town located along the Flint Hills Scenic Byway in Kansas. You can think about Strong City, Kansas. Population, 388.
Five years after the Kansas Territory was first organized… Two years prior to Kansas becoming our 34th U.S. State…Chase County, Kansas was born. That year? 1859.
