Discover Emporia RV rentals for memorable road trips

Emporia is a city in Lyon County, Kansas. It is near the crossroads of U.S. Route 50, Interstate 35, and Interstate 335, making it a convenient place to rent an RV. The city was established in 1857 and named after an important commercial center in ancient Carthage. Emporia received its first railroad in 1869 and a second railroad arrived the following year; this led to the city becoming a booming railroad hub. Emporia was the first city in the nation to observe Veterans Day (in 1953); shortly after a resolution was passed to rename Armistice Day as Veterans Day nationally.
