Republican City was named for the Republican River. A historical marker about 150 miles down the Republican River in Kansas says, "Long before white men settled here the region was the home of the Pawnee Indians. The French traders in the late 1700s named those along the river the Republican Pawnees, in the mistaken belief that their form of government was a republic. From them the Republican River and in turn Republic County and Republic (town) in Kansas took their names."

About 200 people call Republican City home now. It is a vacation resort and a sportsman’s paradise. Many retirees have summer homes here. Republican City, located off Hwy 136, is about 400 miles east of Denver, CO, and about

200 miles west of Lincoln, NE.
