Milo is a ghost town in Lincoln County, Kansas, United States. It was located along a former railroad about halfway between the communities of Barnard and Ada.
Milo was issued a post office in 1872. The post office was discontinued in 1938.[1]
The 1912 cyclopedia of Kansas describes Milo as a "country trading point" on Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, with "2 stores, an express office, and a money order postoffice with one rural route." It reported the 1910 population to be 50 people.[2]
The referenced rail line opened in 1888 as a line of the Chicago, Kansas and Western Railroad opened from Manchester in the east to Barnard in the west, a 43 mile line, with a stop at Milo. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway the line in 1901.[3] An application was filed in 1983 to abandon this "Minneapolis District" line.The Minneapolis District, Abandoned Rails, Retrieved 21 February 2022
