Heizer, also called Heizerton, is an unincorporated community in Barton County, Kansas, United States. Heizer was created in the 1880s primarily out of the need for an additional railway stop northwest of the city of Great Bend, Kansas. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway was in the process of building lines heading out to the southwest after Colonel Cyrus K. Holliday gained charter to the company in 1859 and gained land grants through Kansas and Texas. The railroad that was built through Great Bend was one such line.
