The town of Stuttgart, Kansas, United States was founded on February 6, 1888. It is located north of Kansas on U.S. Route 36 between Prairie View and Phillipsburg in Phillips County not far from the border with the U.S. state of Nebraska. Its foundation can be traced back to the early 1870s, when the first settlers arrived in the area, which was used as feeding areas for buffalo herds of Indians extensively.

Stuttgart evolved from simple dugouts and small log cabins to a busy farmer town with a hotel, guest house, cafe, bank, cinema, hairdresser, post office, lumberyard, grocery store, railroad depot, grain silos, repair shop, blacksmith, dairy, two Lutheran churches, public school, baseball team and more.

Today, it has become somewhat calmer in the settlement. There is a Lutheran church, a grain elevator, a car repair shop and a gas station with service, as well as a photo studio.
