Sterling Kansas Sterling was founded in 1872 and its original name was Peace. And so Sterling was born. Gone are the days of the bustling railroad and the thriving broomcorn market that helped shape the community's early years, but the sense of peace of that simpler time remains. We look to the future with great anticipation.
Sterling is a progressive community eager to use the best that technology can offer.
We are linked to the world via the internet, fiberoptics and a major highway. Sterling continues to be a town where the charm of small town life has not lost its luster. It seems there are a number of people to whom the quality of life is number one. As a result of this, we are becoming a bedroom community for people working in Hutchinson and Wichita. Both are an easy drive.
