History

In 1887, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) built a branch line from Neva (three miles west of Strong City) through Talmage to Superior, Nebraska. In 1996, the ATSF merged with the Burlington Northern Railroad, forming the current BNSF Railway. Most locals still refer to this railroad as the "Santa Fe".

The post office was established on December 22, 1887.{{cite web |title=Kansas Post Offices, 1828-1961, page 2 (archived) |url=http://www.kshs.org/geog/geog_postoffices/search/page:2/county:DK |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130909084237/http://www.kshs.org/geog/geog_postoffices/search/page:2/county:DK |archivedate=September 9, 2013 |accessdate=8 June 2014 |website=Kansas Historical Society}}
