Cunningham is a city in Kingman County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 454. The city was named in honor of J. D. Cunningham, a pioneer settler.
The history of Cunningham starts with the town of Ninnescah, which was located near and named after the Ninnescah River. The Ninnescah Post Office opened August 20, 1885. Later the town of Cunningham was established a few miles to the west, on the north side of the railroad. There was a movement among the locals to move the town of Ninnescah to Cunningham.
