Rice is an unincorporated community in Cloud County, Kansas, United States. [1]
In the 19th century, Rice was a station on the Central Branch Union Pacific Railroad, and the town's proximity to the larger trading center of Concordia inhibited its growth. [2]
A post office was opened in Rice in 1878, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1980. [3]
The community is served by Concordia USD 333 public school district.
