Junction City: Where Fort Riley Lives
A lot of people stationed at Ft. Riley live in Junction City. Others have homes in the surrounding area including Manhattan, Ogden, Abilene and other cities and towns sprinkled here and there.
We chose to live in Junction City for various reasons, and have never had one regret. I love this town! Having spent my childhood in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma, I feel quite at home in this population 15,576-ish small city.
If you are on your way to Fort Riley, you might be interested in some "inside information" on our fair town!
