History

Milo was issued a post office in 1872. The post office was discontinued in 1938. [2]

The 1912 cyclopedia of Kansas describes Milo as a "country trading point" on Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, with "2 stores, an express office, and a money order postoffice with one rural route." It reported the 1910 population to be 50 people. [3]

The referenced rail line opened in 1888 as a line of the Chicago, Kansas and Western Railroad opened from Manchester in the east to Barnard in the west, a 43 mile line, with a stop at Milo. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway the line in 1901. [4] An application was filed in 1983 to abandon this "Minneapolis District" line. [5]
