The work done by a dedicated group in the small town in southeast Kansas caught the attention of The New York Times. Over the past five years, the economic development group A Bolder Humboldt has been at work building up the town with new businesses and renovations along with venues for recreation, all to revitalize their community. Their efforts paid off as Humboldt was just included on The New York Times’ list of “52 Places for a Changed World.” In writing of the town with a population of fewer than 2,000 people, the Times noted that Humboldt was “becoming an unexpected and affordable oasis of cool surrounded by fields of wheat and soybeans.”
