We are city just outside of Manhattan and Fort Riley that offers a family-friendly, small town community. Our local businesses, community events, recreational facilities, and so much more make the City of Riley a fantastic place to call home. The City of Riley was founded in 1870 as the City of Union. In 1887 the city name was changed to Riley Center. A final change was made in 1895, and today, we know this city as the City of Riley. Over nearly 150 years of existence, the City of Riley has grown through agriculture, educational opportunity and excellence, thriving local businesses, and providing an overall family-friendly, small town community. Over the years, the City of Riley has been known as an agricultural trade center and as "the antiquing hub of Mid-America". Though the city has faced hardships over the years, the community has continued to grow and thrive. We are excited to see what the future holds for our community, and we are confident that our strong foundation will continue on for years to come.

We are looking for community input!

A comprehensive plan is a roadmap for the future, guiding land use and infrastructure decisions over the next 15 years.
Rooted in the community’s vision and goals, the plan establishes a practical, step-by-step strategy to achieve specific outcomes.
Through a grant from the Department of War (DOW) OLDCC Installation Readiness Program, the Flint Hills Regional Council was awarded funding to assist four jurisdictions with their comprehensive plans including:
• City of Wamego
• Geary County/ City of Junction City
• City of Milford
• City of Riley

These plans address topics including land use and development, housing, economic development, environmental resources, parks and recreation, transportation, and infrastructure to promote balanced and sustainable growth.
