Cawker City, home of the World's Largest Ball of Twine, is located in north central Kansas along U.S. Highway 24, in Mitchell County, Kansas and the beautiful Solomon Valley. Poised on the shores of Waconda Lake and near Glen Elder State Park, the area around Cawker City offers some of the finest hunting, fishing, camping and boating in the state. The community also maintains Lakeside Park which includes a pristine 9-hole golf course located directly alongside the lake.

Community Notes!
Cawker City Fire Department - Seeking Volunteers
The fire department is an all-volunteer team of citizens willing and able to protect us all from fires and other dangers. We are currently seeking volunteers. Please contact Fire Chief Chris Thornton or the City Office with questions and to obtain an application. Cawker City was founded in 1870 by E.H. Cawker, the result of a poker game between the original founders of the community and their disagreement on naming the town. Cawker City is proud of its history and farming heritage.
