Vine Creek is a ghost town in Ottawa County, Kansas, United States. [1]
Vine Creek (also known historically as Vine) had a post office from 1879 until 1932. [2]
In 1888, a rail line of the Chicago, Kansas and Western Railroad opened from Manchester, Kansas in the east to Barnard in the west, a 43 mile line, with a stop at Vine Creek. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway acquired the railroad in 1901. [3] An application was filed in 1983 to abandon this " Minneapolis District" line. [4]
The 1912 cyclopedia of Kansas described Vine as a "village" on Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, with "a money order postoffice and telegraph and express office. The population in 1910 was 50. The railroad name is Vine Creek." [5]
Children living near the former community is served by North Ottawa County USD 239 public school district.
