Lincolnville is a city in Marion County, Kansas, United States. [1] As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 168. [3] The city was named after Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. It is located northeast of Marion, west of the intersection of U.S. Route 77 (aka U.S. Route 56) highway and 290th Street next to the Union Pacific Railroad.
For many millennia, the Great Plains of North America was inhabited by nomadic Native Americans. From the 16th century to 18th century, the Kingdom of France claimed ownership of large parts of North America. In 1762, after the French and Indian War, France secretly ceded New France to Spain, per the Treaty of Fontainebleau.
In 1802, Spain returned most of the land to France. In 1803, most of the land for modern day Kansas was acquired by the United States from France as part of the 828,000 square mile Louisiana Purchase for 2.83 cents per acre.
In 1854, the Kansas Territory was organized, then in 1861 Kansas became the 34th U.S. state. In 1855, Marion County was established within the Kansas Territory, which included the land for modern day Lincolnville. [4]
The first settlers to the area were Heman Deal (1860) and Thomas Wise, Jr (1863). [5] A post office was established in Lincolnville on December 31, 1868. [6]
The first Lincolnville plat was filed by Robert C McAllister on May 18, 1872, but the patent from the United States government was not granted until August 23, 1878. [7] President Abraham Lincoln is the city's namesake. [8]
In 1887, the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska Railway built a branch line north-south from Herington through Lincolnville to Caldwell. [9] It foreclosed in 1891 and was taken over by Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway, which shut down in 1980 and reorganized as Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas Railroad, merged in 1988 with Missouri Pacific Railroad, and finally merged in 1997 with Union Pacific Railroad. Most locals still refer to this railroad as the "Rock Island".
Lincolnville is located in the scenic Flint Hills and Great Plains of the state of Kansas. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.22 square miles (0.57 km2), all of it land. [10]
The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Lincolnville has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated "Cfa" on climate maps. [11]
