Victoria is located in eastern Ellis County, just south of I-70. From the interstate, the country looks flat, but south of town the Smoky Hill River has carved a huge valley. It was settled by immigrants from two cultures and has a rich past. A historical marker on the south side of town describes its early settlers. |
