Why this spot
1909-1953 land promotion farm town
A Kansas City land company sold small plots here to up to 500 Midwestern families in 1909, and by 1910 the town had banks, a broom factory, a cannery, churches, stores and a school. The promised railroad never came, the Depression cost farmers their land, and the post office closed in 1953 when about 30 people remained.View source →
