Richter is a small, quiet place in Franklin County, Kansas, United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a settlement that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town would. Instead, it's governed by the larger county it's part of.
History of Richter
When Richter Started
Richter began its story a long time ago. In 1890, a special building called a post office was opened there. A post office is where people send and receive letters and packages. It was a very important place for the community back then.
The Post Office Closes
The post office in Richter served the community for several years. However, it eventually closed down in 1907. After that, people in Richter would have needed to go to a nearby town to send or get their mail.
