}}Pretty Prairie is a city in Reno County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 680.[3]

History

The first post office at Pretty Prairie was established in 1874.[4]

Pretty Prairie was laid out in 1889. It was named from its scenic setting upon the prairie.[5] Pretty Prairie was incorporated as a city in 1907.[6]

The city's sole source of water is a single well, a 100-foot-deep borehole. Due to agricultural pollution from the region's groundwater, the well water has had nitrate levels in excess of the federal nitrate standard since the mid-1990s. For years, Pretty Prairie distributed bottled water to at-risk families. On January 3, 2017, the town council approved a settlement with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the EPA. The town will invest in a water tower, an underground storage tank, and a reverse osmosis water treatment system.[7][8]
