History

The community was started by the Mennonite John Zook, who came to Larned, Kansas, in the 1880s and then moved his family to the location that would become Zook, a mile east of what is now Highway 19 in southeastern Pawnee County. [2]

The community grew in population when the Anthony and Northern Railroad came through the area. [2] The region's first consolidated school was built in 1922, [2] and by 1940 the town had "a school, church, grain elevator and filling station." [3] The school closed for good in 1962. [2]
