AKRON

NAME: Akron
COUNTY: Cowley
ROADS: 2WD
GRID: 4
CLIMATE: Typical Kansas
BEST TIME TO VISIT: Anytime
COMMENTS: Apparently sits on old Highway 77 about 7 or 8 miles north of Winfield. Easiest way to get there is to take K-15 about 1/2 mile west of U.S. 77 and then take 75th road south 3 miles.
REMAINS: 3 or 4 occupied houses, old community building, several abandoned buildings
I don't know too much about the history of the town but I'm guessing it faded away after the new U.S. 77 was built a mile east of town. Submitted by: Matthew Leverich
