He and business partner Albert Warren formed Warren, Keeney, & Co., surveyed and plotted the site in 1878, and established a colony there in 1879.[5] They named the colony WaKeeney, a portmanteau of their surnames, and billed it as "The Queen City of the High Plains", advertising and holding celebrations to attract settlers.[6] The colony grew rapidly, but crop failures drove settlers to leave in 1880 as quickly as they had come. By 1882, all that was left were "five poorly patronized retail stores".[7] Years later, Volga Germans began settling the area.[5] WaKeeney became the county seat in June 1879 and was incorporated as a city in 1880.[5][6] GeographyWaKeeney is located at {{Coord|39.024467|-99.881972|type:city_region:US|format=dms|display=inline}} (39.024467, -99.881972)[8] at an elevation of 2,447 feet (746 m).[2] Located in northwestern Kansas at the intersection of Interstate 70 and U.S. Route 283, it is {{convert|162|mi|km}} northwest of Wichita, {{convert|281|mi|km}} east-southeast of Denver, and {{convert|284|mi|km}} west of Kansas City.[9] WaKeeney lies in the High Plains region of the Great Plains approximately {{convert|2|mi|km}} north of Big Creek, a tributary of the Smoky Hill River.[10][11] A small tributary of Big Creek flows south from near the center of the city.[11] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|1.71|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all of it land.[12] ClimateWaKeeney has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa), experiencing hot, humid summers and cold, dry winters. The average temperature is 52.8 °F (11 °C), and the average yearly precipitation is 23.6 inches (600 mm).[13] Snowfall averages 25.2 inches (640 mm) per year.[14] On average, January is the coolest month, and July is both the warmest month and the wettest month. The hottest temperature recorded in WaKeeney was 110 °F (43 °C) in 1980; the coldest temperature recorded was -25 °F (-32 °C) in 1989.[15] {{Weather box|location = WaKeeney, Kansas |single line = Y |Jan record high F = 79 |Feb record high F = 84 |Mar record high F = 90 |Apr record high F = 102 |May record high F = 101 |Jun record high F = 110 |Jul record high F = 110 |Aug record high F = 107 |Sep record high F = 104 |Oct record high F = 98 |Nov record high F = 89 |Dec record high F = 79 |year record high F = 110 |Jan high F = 40 |Feb high F = 46 |Mar high F = 55 |Apr high F = 66 |May high F = 75 |Jun high F = 87 |Jul high F = 93 |Aug high F = 91 |Sep high F = 82 |Oct high F = 70 |Nov high F = 53 |Dec high F = 42 |Jan low F = 16 |Feb low F = 21 |Mar low F = 29 |Apr low F = 39 |May low F = 50 |Jun low F = 60 |Jul low F = 65 |Aug low F = 63 |Sep low F = 53 |Oct low F = 41 |Nov low F = 28 |Dec low F = 19 |Jan record low F = −14 |Feb record low F = −14 |Mar record low F = −9 |Apr record low F = 11 |May record low F = 27 |Jun record low F = 39 |Jul record low F = 47 |Aug record low F = 47 |Sep record low F = 24 |Oct record low F = 12 |Nov record low F = −4 |Dec record low F = −25 |year record low F = −25 |Jan precipitation inch = 0.68 |Feb precipitation inch = 0.77 |Mar precipitation inch = 1.87 |Apr precipitation inch = 2.17 |May precipitation inch = 3.62 |Jun precipitation inch = 2.57 |Jul precipitation inch = 3.64 |Aug precipitation inch = 2.95 |Sep precipitation inch = 2.02 |Oct precipitation inch = 1.33 |Nov precipitation inch = 1.33 |Dec precipitation inch = 0.66 |Jan snow inch = 5.5 |Feb snow inch = 4.9 |Mar snow inch = 4.9 |Apr snow inch = 1.8 |May snow inch = 0 |Jun snow inch = 0 |Jul snow inch = 0 |Aug snow inch = 0 |Sep snow inch = 0.3 |Oct snow inch = 0.8 |Nov snow inch = 2.6 |Dec snow inch = 4.5 |source 1 = The Weather Channel;[15] National Weather Service[14] |date=August 2010 }} Demographics{{US Census population|align= |1880= 418 |1890= 439 |1900= 394 |1910= 883 |1920= 1003 |1930= 1408 |1940= 1852 |1950= 2446 |1960= 2808 |1970= 2334 |1980= 2388 |1990= 2161 |2000= 1924 |2010= 1862 |estyear=2016 |estimate=1776 |estref=[16] |align-fn=center |footnote=[https://www.census.gov/prod/www/abs/decennial/ U.S. Decennial Census] }} 2010 censusAs of the census[17] of 2010, there were 1,862 people, 864 households, and 500 families residing in the city.
