24/7 Biohazard and Crime Scene Cleanup in Haysville, KS

Haysville is a city in Sedgwick County in the Wichita metropolitan area, a suburb directly south of Wichita.

W. W. Hays arrived in the area in the early 1870s and platted the town in 1891; a grist mill had already been built on Cowskin Creek in 1874, and the town's first school was built in 1876.

Haysville is known as the "Peach Capital of Kansas": orchards such as the fifth-generation Blood Orchard trace their first plantings to the late 1880s, and at the boom's height at least a half-dozen orchards dotted the countryside around town.

Salt contamination in the groundwater and unpredictable freezes ended Haysville's peach boom by the 1980s, although Blood Orchard was replanted in 2015 and reopened in 2019.

The Haysville State Bank was established in 1919 and became a landmark of the town's historic Main Street district.

On May 3, 1999, an F4 tornado struck Haysville directly along a 24-mile path with winds up to about 260 miles per hour, killing six people, injuring around 150, and damaging or destroying 150 homes and 27 businesses.

The 1999 tornado wiped out Haysville's entire historic district - the original bank vault was the only thing left standing on the east side of Main Street - and the city's rebuilding afterward won national recognition, including a FEMA award.

The 2020 census counted 11,262 people in Haysville, in 4,133 households and 2,988 families.

In the 2020 census, 69.8 percent of Haysville households owned their homes.
