A railroad namesake and the Potato King of the World
Named for a railroad man
Edwardsville was surveyed in 1869 on land that had belonged to Half Moon, a Delaware chief. It was named for John H. Edwards, a Union Pacific general passenger agent who later served as a state senator from Ellis County. The town incorporated in 1915.
The Potato King of the World
Junius G. Groves, born into slavery in Kentucky in 1859, came to Kansas at 19 as an Exoduster and started with 80 acres near Edwardsville. He grew to more than 500 acres, reportedly grew more potatoes per acre than anyone in the world, and built a 20-room mansion with electricity, running water and telephones. He died in Edwardsville in 1925.
Groves Center and a renamed street
In the early 1900s Groves founded Groves Center near Edwardsville, built a golf course for African Americans, possibly the first in the county, and had a railroad spur run to his potato house. He joined the Kansas Business Hall of Fame in 2021, and in April 2024 Edwardsville renamed 98th Street in his honor.

City rules
Can I do that in Edwardsville?
The questions buyers ask before the fence goes up, from Edwardsville code, permit pages and local reporting. Rules change and HOA covenants can be stricter, so confirm with the city before you build.
Fence permits
You need a city permit to build a new fence, move or replace one, or repair half or more of an existing fence. Agricultural fences on AG/R-zoned land are exempt. The permit costs $25, is valid for 90 days, and covers one inspection by the Codes Department after the fence is installed.
Fence height and materials
Fences can be up to 6 feet tall and made of wood, chain link, plastic or metal (Code Sec. 3.09.004). Barbed wire is allowed only in the AG/R, I-1 and I-2 districts (Sec. 3.09.005).
Front-yard fences and corner lots
In R-1 districts, front-yard fences are allowed only on lots of one acre or more, and they can be no taller than 4 feet. They are not allowed at all in R-2 and R-3 districts (Sec. 3.09.006). Rear-yard fences can sit on the property line or at least 2 feet back from it. Corner lots must keep a 25-foot sight triangle clear (Sec. 3.09.007).
Open burning
All burning in the city requires a burn permit, which is free through the city’s Community Connect portal. Wait for the Fire Department to confirm the permit before you light anything. You may burn only natural vegetation such as weeds, limbs and stumps, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., with someone watching the fire. Burning trash, including in burn barrels, is banned. Bonfires need special permission from the Fire Department.
Fireworks
Fireworks are legal in Edwardsville from July 1 through July 4, 9 a.m. to midnight.
Building permits and zoning
To find out whether a project such as a deck, driveway or addition needs a permit, call City Hall at 913-356-6012. Don’t start work until the permit is issued. The first review can take up to 10 business days. The city’s zoning ordinance is not published online, so call City Hall at 913-441-3707 to confirm a parcel’s zoning.
Livestock enclosures
The city’s animal code counts fowl, ducks, geese and turkeys as domestic animals. Anyone with a permit to keep horses, cattle, sheep or goats must have an enclosure that keeps them from breaking out. Barbed-wire or electric fencing on animal shelters is not allowed unless an agricultural permit applies or an outer fence protects it (Sec. 2.01.015).

Edwardsville history, jobs and parks
A little history
Edwardsville was platted in 1869 on land that had belonged to Half Moon, a Delaware chief. It was named for John H. Edwards, a general passenger agent for the Union Pacific Railroad, and it incorporated in 1915. Its best-known resident was Junius G. Groves, who was born enslaved, came to Kansas as an Exoduster, and built a farm of more than 500 acres near town. Groves grew so many potatoes per acre that he was called the “Potato King of the World,” and in 2024 the city renamed 98th Street in his honor. The town stayed small for a century, then grew from 619 residents in 1970 to 3,364 in 1980.
Where people work
Most of Edwardsville’s jobs are in the warehouse and manufacturing parks along Woodend Road and Kaw Drive near I-435. The Wyandotte Economic Development Council lists a $23 million, 47,000-square-foot expansion at 9911 Woodend Road ($12.5 million for the building and $10.5 million for automation). INX International doubled its local ink and coatings plant to 75,000 square feet with a $5.2 million expansion in 2017, and Medart, Inc. has three warehouse buildings in the city. Two distribution centers closed in 2025: S&S Activewear’s warehouse at 9525 Woodend Road (about 86 jobs) and Veyer’s facility near I-435 and Kaw Drive (77 jobs). The city is also building an $18 million municipal complex at 690 S. 4th Street that will include a library, a police station and a fire station addition.
Parks & outdoors
Edwardsville City Park at 1200 Blake Street has a playground, ball fields and a rentable shelter with water, electricity and picnic tables. It also hosts city events like Trunk’R’Treat and the Mayor’s Tree Lighting. The Community Center at 696 S. 3rd Street is a remodeled storm shelter with a 150-person banquet hall and kitchenette, available for rent. It’s a party room that doubles as a tornado shelter, which is about as Kansas as a building gets. The city has also been working with Wichita State University on a long-range parks and recreation master plan.
