ABOUT SOLOMON
Small Town with
Big Personality.
Solomon sits along the Smoky Hill River just eight miles east of Abilene — a river town with deep roots, genuine community pride, and one of the most distinctive identities in Dickinson County. Home to Solomon USD 393 and the Solomon Gorillas, this is a community where school spirit runs deep and neighbors show up for each other. With a family poverty rate of just 1.8% — among the lowest of any community in the county — Solomon's economic foundation is quietly strong.
Sunbelt Solomon, headquartered here on Main Street, is one of the world's largest providers of commercial and industrial electrical distribution equipment — a global-scale operation with over 100 years of combined experience, rooted in a Kansas river town of just over 1,000 people. That's the kind of economic anchor that stabilizes a community for generations. Add the Smoky Hill River corridor, affordable housing, and easy access to Abilene's full range of amenities, and Solomon offers a quality of life that's hard to replicate at any price point.

Why Solomon? Gorilla Pride, a river town address, and an economic
anchor that serves utilities across North America. Not bad for a town of 1,000.
