El Dorado, Kansas, founded in 1871, became known as an "Oil Town," thanks to one of the largest underground oil reserves in the United States which was pooled in the ground below it.
Today, El Dorado is a progressive, economically diverse community located on the edge of the beautiful Flint Hills in south central Kansas. From fine art museums, antique malls and historic depots, to respected schools, medical facilities and outstanding indoor and outdoor recreational areas, El Dorado has numerous opportunities for a diverse population, both young and old.
