"OH, WHAT A PRETTY GREEN FIELD"
The words that started it all
The name “Grainfield” was taken from a comment made by a young settler girl who said, “Oh, what a pretty green field!”. In June of 1879 the Kansas Pacific Railway Company plotted a town site, giving it the name “Town of Grainfield”. Just like the name Grainfield suggests, wheat grows right up to the town’s back door!
