Chicago, Kansas
Chicago is a former populated place in Adell Township, Sheridan County, in the state of Kansas in the United States.
The community was named after Chicago, Illinois because it was the busiest place in the local area. A joint post office, stagecoach stop, and general store opened in 1880. The post office only lasted until 1887. A church built in 1910 lasted until the early 1960s, and the local school closed in 1954.
As of 2010, what remained of the community was the abandoned schoolhouse and a rusty "Chicago" sign marker, as well as one abandoned home.
