I feel pretty confident in saying that Kansas as a whole is a pretty remote location… wouldn’t you agree? Aside from its somewhat smaller population, the Sunflower State is located in the quiet and friendly Midwest and features lots of charming small towns and open land. That being said, when it came to picking the most remote and isolated spot in the state, it was somewhat of a tossup; however, we just had to go with this one important spot that holds both geographic and historical significance.
Tucked away along the very north-central part of the state lies Lebanon; a tiny town of just over 200 located in Smith County.
While the small town has gained its own attention over the years (in both the national news as well as fictional TV shows), one thing in particular makes the proud community stand out from the rest...
Located a mere 2.6 miles northwest of Lebanon, the geographic center of the contiguous United States is said to be the center of the lower 48, as studied and plotted by the U.S. National Geodetic Survey in the early 1900s.
