The History of Windmills in Kansas

May 3, 2025

How Windmills Became a Staple of Rural Water Supply

Kansas is known for its wide-open spaces and steady winds—perfect conditions for windmills. These iconic structures have been used for over a century to pump water for farms, livestock, and homes.


Originally introduced in the late 1800s, windmills revolutionized rural life by providing a consistent, reliable water source without relying on hand pumping. Over the decades, technology has improved, but the basic principle remains the same.


Today, windmills are still a trusted solution for remote water needs, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern materials for even longer-lasting performance.



At Flint Hills Windmill & Well Pump Service, we’re proud to continue this Kansas tradition with expert installation, service, and restoration.
