Review of Hillsboro, Kansas


Note
Star Rating - 6/8/2012
In case you were wondering, the "other Christian" percentage listed under religion is mostly made up of Mennonite Brethren. Hillsboro was founded by Mennonites and many of its inhabitants are from a German background in that faith or a similar anabaptist tradition.

Hillsboro was in fact a small town already in existence and thriving when the townspeople welcomed the Mennonites in the 1880's. The helped the Mennonites assimilate to the culture and were subsequently overrun by Mennonites.

This is true. And as a Hillsboro resident for the last 25 years, I can tell you they are generally not accepting of outsiders. You will find residents of Hillsboro will primarily communicate with numerous family members in town or with individuals who attend the same church. If you do not fall into either of these categories, be prepared to be ignored or politely and briefly acknowledged at best.
