Bloom, Kansas

Bloom, Kansas

Bloom is a small unincorporated community in Ford County, Kansas, United States. The post office closed in 1992.

History

Bloom was established in 1888. The small town sprang to life as the Rock Island Railroad pushed west. The original train depot is still located in Bloom. Bloom reached a population of a few hundred in the 1930's but gradually declined to about 40 people. The public school closed in the early 1960's as the school district merged with Minneola Kansas. The small town had a hotel, gas station, restaurant, post office, and lumber yard. Today a grain elevator is the only business. Wheat farms and ranches surround the small town.
