Spray Foam Insulation in Ozawkie, KS

Spray Foam Insulation in Ozawkie serves a town that literally moved. In 1966 residents relocated Ozawkie to higher ground west of the original site ahead of Perry Lake, bringing a water tower, a school and 26 homes, and the town incorporated in 1967. It now sits on the western shore at the north end of Perry Lake, a reservoir of about 11,146 acres.

Newer than it looks

Because the town was rebuilt after 1966, most homes date from the 1960s on. The population grew from 137 in 1970 to 472 in 1980 and 638 in 2020, with 251 housing units counted in 2020.
