Sylvia, Kansas History

In the 1870's, Sylvia was a sand mound about 300 yards around its base; it was located on the Thompson ranch. You could see where men had lain while they shot buffalo. Prairie dogs and rattlesnakes were very numerous. The land on which Sylvia is located was deeded by the State of Kansas to the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railways Co. in 1884. In 1886, the land was deeded to H.S. Thompson and his wife, Mary. It was then immediately transferred to the Sylvia Town Company whence it was platted as the town of Sylvia and finally incorporated in 1887. The name "Sylvia" was given to the city by A.A. Robinson, a vice president of the Santa Fe railroad, in honor of his wife. Mr. Thompson insisted the name of the town be "Zenith" to honor of the local Star Route post office. A compromise was reached when Mr. Robinson agreed to put in another post office station five miles west and call it Zenith. A correspondent from the Leavenworth Times traveled through Sylvia in 1886 and said, "Nature had intended this site for Sylvia." 
Today Sylvia extends a Kansas small-town welcome and welcomes visitors from all around the world. During hunting season, residents of this Western Reno County town are used to seeing hunter orange as the most popular color of clothing. Sylvia prides itself on being one of the best upland bird hunting areas in all of the Midwest. Sylvia residents say, "Come share our space!"
