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. |

Today it's a prosperous, tightly-knit community that offers traditional small town values just minutes from the nearby city of Hays and from Fort Hays State University. |
