World First Bulldozer on display in Cummings Park

Morrowville is located two miles north of U.S. Highway 36 on Kansas Highway 15.


Our Beginning: Founded in 1884, the town of Morrow was named for its founder, Cal Morrow, a state senator from 1876 to 1890, landowner and cattleman.

The name of "Morrowville" was chosen on June 7, 1884, because of confusion with the mail going to the Brown County town of Morrill.
