Greeley is a city in Anderson County, Kansas, United States.

[3] Nomadic Native Americans, perhaps the Wichita as early as the 1400s and the Osage by the 1700s, would have been present in the area for many centuries.

The Trail of Death relocated the Potawatomie to the area in 1838, and they had established subsistence farming at what would become Greeley prior to the arrival of European-Americans.

[4] The first European-American settlement at Greeley was made in May 1854 by Valentine Gerth and Francis Myer.

At that time the county seat moved to its first "permanent" location at what would become the town of Shannon.

[5] Likely unique among American frontier towns, the three officers of the original Greeley Town Company were all Ashkenazi Jews: August Bondi, Jacob Benjamin, and Theodore Wiener (sometimes misspelled Weiner, or even Weimar in later texts).

[4] The office was called Walker until it relocated to the competing town of Mount Gilead, Kansas in May 1861.

[7] The postal name Greeley was not used until April 1866 when the Mount Gilead townsite failed and the post office returned to its original location.

[9] In 1901 Arizona cattle baron Colin Cameron established his midwestern operations just east of Greeley.

[12] Several of Greeley's east–west streets are named for Free Staters who were Jayhawkers or were involved in Territorial government during the Bleeding Kansas era.

The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.

The 2020 United States census counted 273 people, 124 households, and 57 families in Greeley.

48.4% of households consisted of individuals and 25.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
