Lone Star is an unincorporated community in Douglas County, Kansas, United States. It is located 7 miles southwest of Lawrence. The first settlers arrived in 1854, many of whom were either southern colonists or sympathizers who wanted slavery to be legal in the Kansas Territory. However, by 1860, many of these individuals had returned to the south or given up the cause. When William Quantrill razed Lawrence in 1863, some of his men traveled down south and passed near Lone Star.
