About City of Edgerton, Kansas

Located in the southwest corner of Johnson County, Kansas, Edgerton is an idyllic community with a rich and colorful past. The historic Oregon and Sante Fe Trails parted just a few miles east of town. Incorporated in 1883, Edgerton was named for the chief railroad engineer who helped lay down the railroad tracks that passed by the future town site. Ironically, the City is returning to its railroad past. Not only does the Burlington Northern Santa Fe's transcontinental line run through the community, but the City will soon be the location of a 1,000-acre "inland port" connecting Edgerton and the Kansas City metropolitan area with trade from the Pacific Rim. The 1,000-acre development will be constructed in partnership with the City of Edgerton, BNSF Railway, and the Allen Group of Kansas City.
