Cicero is a small, unincorporated community located in Sumner County, Kansas, in the United States. An unincorporated community means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's usually managed by the county.

Cicero is found about 4 miles northeast of the city of Wellington. It's also about 2.5 miles east of where U.S. Route 81 crosses E 50th Ave N, right next to the railroad tracks.

A Look at Cicero's Past

Cicero once had its own post office. This post office first opened its doors in 1883. Having a post office was very important for a community, as it helped people send and receive letters and packages. However, the post office in Cicero eventually closed down in 1934.

Learning in Cicero

Even though Cicero is a small community, the children living there attend public schools. The area is part of the Belle Plaine USD 357 public school district. This district provides education for students from kindergarten through high school.
