Turck is a small, quiet place in Cherokee County, Kansas, in the United States. It's what's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes or buildings that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. It's more like a neighborhood within a larger county. Turck sits about 932 feet (or 284 meters) above sea level.
A Glimpse into Turck's History
Even though Turck is a small community today, it once had its own post office. A post office is where people send and receive letters and packages. Turck's post office was open for a short time, from 1889 until 1891. This shows that at one point, there were enough people living in Turck to need a place to handle their mail.
