Calista, Kansas

Calista is an unincorporated community in Kingman County, Kansas, United States.[1] It was named from the Greek Callista, meaning "most beautiful".[2]

History

Calista became a community in 1886 after the community of Maud (1881-1886) was moved there.[3] This original community known as "Old Calista" lasted until 1896[4] when the community had to be moved to make way for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.[5][6] "New" Calista was founded about two miles west-southwest of "Old" Calista[7] and was a town until 1955.[8] Now Calista only has a few buildings remaining and a small grain elevator open for about two weeks a year during the wheat harvest.[9]

Geography

Calista is located in southern Kansas about nine miles west of the city of Kingman and is near the south bank of the Ninnescah River.[10][11]

Education

The community is served by Kingman–Norwich USD 331 public school district.
