Manhattan
Located in the northeastern corner of the state, Manhattan, Kansas is one of the Midwest’s favorite college towns. Known as “The Little Apple,” Manhattan, Kansas was settled by European Americans in the 1850s, and has grown to become the home of over five colleges and universities including Kansas State University. The university is currently the city’s largest employer, and college students line the streets of Manhattan’s Aggieville, for drinks and shopping. Located in the Flint Hills and along the Kansas River and the Big Blue River, Manhattan offers a lively setting for those seeking natural beauty in the heart of the Midwest.
