About 100 million years ago the Smoky Hill regions were under the ocean, that  created sandstones, limestones, and chalk found in the region nowadays.  People in Kansas used these limestones from the regions to use as fence post, since there were few trees to use at the time. The Smoky Hills got its name from the haze visible in all the valleys very early in the morning.
