Emmeram is an unincorporated community in Herzog Township, Ellis County, Kansas, United States. [1]
In 1899, Catholic parishioners from nearby Herzog established a new parish six miles to the north and began construction of Sacred Heart Church, which they completed in 1901. [2] Originally named Norddorf, the community was renamed Emmeram after Emmeram Kausler, the church pastor. [3] The community grew to include two schools, and a town plot was filed in 1902, but the town was never built. [4] A post office operated in Emmeram from 1903 to 1904. [5]
Emmeram is located approximately one-half mile northeast of Walker Creek, part of the Smoky Hill River watershed, in the Smoky Hills region of the Great Plains. [6] [7] Emmeram is roughly 5.5 miles (8.9 km) north of Interstate 70 and 11 miles (18 km) northeast of Hays, the county seat. [7]
Emmeram lies at the intersection of two unpaved county roads, Emmeram Road, which runs east–west, and 350th Avenue, which runs north–south. [7]
