Page City is a small, quiet place in Logan County, Kansas, in the United States. It's called an "unincorporated community" because it doesn't have its own local government like a city does. You can find Page City along U.S. Route 40, a main road, just west of the town of Oakley.
A Look Back in Time: Page City's History
Page City began its story in 1884. It was first set up as a special stop, or "depot," for the Union Pacific Railroad. This means trains would stop here to drop off or pick up goods and people.
A few years later, in 1887, a post office opened in Page City. This allowed people living there to send and receive mail. The post office served the community for many years. It finally closed its doors in 1971.
