Kniveton, Kansas facts for kids

Kniveton is a small, unincorporated community located in the state of Kansas, in the United States. It's found in two different counties: Cherokee County and Crawford County. An "unincorporated community" means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own official town government or mayor, unlike a city or a town.

History of Kniveton

Kniveton was once a slightly more active place, even though it was never a big city. A post office was opened there in 1895. This was an important event because it meant people in Kniveton could send and receive mail directly. Having a post office often shows that a community is growing and has enough people to need this service. However, the post office in Kniveton did not stay open for very long. It closed down in 1902, just seven years after it started. This short period suggests that Kniveton remained a very small settlement.
