In the South Central Region of the state, Pop.:514, Elev.:1705 feet and founded in 1885. Cunningham is located on highway US-54 half way between Kingman and Pratt in western Kingman County. Looking north up Main street, notice the school at the end. This is a common pattern in Kansas and suggests the value early settlers placed on schools. The Cunningham Museum, located in the old AT&SF depot, offers local area memorabilia and railroad artifacts. The small brick building next to the school is the tiny jail and it looks uncomfortable enough to keep the most hardened criminal honest! Flourishing organizations are: the 4-H Club; American Legion and Ladies Auxiliary; Eastern Star and Masons; Modern Homemakers E.H.U.; Lions Club; Y.W.C.A.; and Cub Scouts. Cunningham owes its prosperity to the rich surrounding farmland, cattle production, oil wells, and Highway 54. The residents enjoy dependable utility services, good streets, friendly neighbors, and a progressive community spirit.
