Oronoque is an unincorporated community in Norton County in the U.S. state of Kansas.[1] Virgil Vogel, in Indian Names in Michigan refers to Oronoque as a variant spelling of Orinoco, the name of a South American river that was adopted with various spellings in other states: Oronoko Charter Township, Michigan and Oronoco, Minnesota.[2]

Oronoque had a post office from 1885 until 1934.[3]
