Moline is a city in Elk County, Kansas, United States.[1] As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 345.[4] Moline is located in south central Elk County at the intersection of U.S. Highway 160 and K-99.
Moline is known for being the home of Kansas' oldest swinging (suspension-type) bridge, built in 1904.[5] The bridge spans over a lower portion of a local stream, Wildcat Creek. Immediately to the west of the famous Swinging Bridge, a limestone water fall formation flows with water through much of the rainy season in late winter and early spring.[6]
