History
A post office was opened in the NE 1/4 of Section 22 in Corinth Township, Osborne County, Kansas, in 1872, with Potter Kenyon as postmaster, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1896.[2] In 1915 the Salina Northern Railroad was built through Corinth Township, and a grain elevator and warehouse were built along the railroad line in the eastern half of Section 28, 1.5 miles southwest of where the post office used to be twenty years ago.

gollark: You forgot to `read` before the Leon check bit.
gollark: The funny thing is that Dan200 still talks about how great it is on his twitter while ignoring it.
gollark: Are you expecting it to sleep before or after loadImage runs?
