Elk Falls Kansas

Founded in 1871, Elk Falls is located in the Southeast Region of the state, in southern Elk County, southeast of Howard along Highway 160 near the Elk River. Population: 122 (1990) 151 (1980). Elevation: 938 feet.

The town's site at the falls of the Elk is as fetching as any in Kansas, but the natural beauty is only part of the fascination outsiders have for the town: "World's largest living ghost town... in the heart of the Kansas Ozarks". For those who fall in love with the place, the citizens offer (for a small fee) to make you an honorary citizen as long as you promise not to move there.
