The City of Parker is located in northwestern Linn County. The town has less than 250 residents, however, it serves as a hub for the surrounding rural community. Liberty Township is home to more than 1,900 people in a mostly rural area covering 64 square miles. Here is a link to the recent U.S. Census data on the community.
Despite the rural nature of the community, the Parker area is home to several businesses, including a combination café/gas station/convenience store, lodging, a lumberyard/hardware store, a concrete products plant, a wooden truss manufacturing operation and a metal recycling center. It also has a well-stocked public fishing lake, a beautiful city park, and an elementary school that serves half of the K-5 students in the Prairie View school district.
Although in its early days Parker, then as now a railroad town, was a bustling community with two banks, a grocery store and a hotel, as transportation became easier population shifted away from the area. However, Parker residents are 20 minutes away from shopping areas of Paola or Garnett, 30 minutes away from Ottawa and about 40 minutes away from southern fringe of the Kansas City metro area. That gives area residents plenty of opportunities for work and shopping.
The Parker area gives people the best of both worlds: a rural setting with great schools and easy access to the conveniences of larger cities.
