Welcome to Whitewater, Kansas City of Whitewater… “A Little Town With a Big Heart”
Whitewater, Kansas offers a serene small-town vibe while still being conveniently close to larger cities like Wichita, El Dorado, and Newton. You get the best of both worlds - a quieter community with easy access to the amenities and opportunities of larger urban areas, all without the higher costs of living typically associated with big cities. It’s a balance that many find appealing.
Incorporated on April 15, 1890, you can find the city of Whitewater situated in the central part of the United States, specifically in the NW corner of Butler County. Whitewater is approximately 20 miles northeast of Wichita, which is the largest city in Kansas.
Feathered Friends on the Loose!
We’ve seen some chickens out and about in the city—just a friendly reminder:
All chickens within city limits must be registered annually.
If your coop does not have a 2025 Chicken Permit, please visit the City Office as soon as possible to get registered.
All coops must meet city code requirements.
Let’s keep our cluckers safe and our neighborhoods tidy—thanks for your cooperation!
