Ever wonder what all those little specks on your map are? Here’s 11 of them! Let’s take a tour of these teeny tiny towns right here in the Sunflower State.
- Freeport (Harper County)
GoogleMaps As of 2010, the population of this teensy tiny town was only 5 people. It’s the smallest incorporated town in Kansas!
- Raymond (Rice County)
GoogleMaps This town is named after Emmons Raymond, former Director of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway. The estimated current population is about 78.
- Bushong (Lyon County)
Patrick Emerson/Flickr During the Cold War, Bushong was the location of one of the first generations of nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles. As of 2010, it had 34 residents.
- Roxbury (McPherson County)
GoogleMaps There’s not much recent information about this mystery town, but the last listed census was 100 people in 1910, so who knows? Maybe it’s a new ghost town.
- Randolph (Riley County)

- Bassett (Allen County)
GoogleMaps This teeny spot only boasts 15 people at the last census, which is insane. Bassett wasn’t always so empty, though. The first concrete road in Kansas was laid here in this tiny town.
- Coolidge (Hamilton County)
Kent Kanouse/Flickr This town of only 95 people (2010 census) was named after Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, the former president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.
- Elgin (Chautauqua County)
Rex Brown/Flickr The south edge of this charming city is part of the Kansas-Oklahoma border. It only has a census of 89 people!
- Hunnewell (Sumner County)
GoogleMaps In its best years, it was a shipping point for Texas cattle, but now there’s only around 65 people left in this dwindling Kansas town.
- Mildred (Allen County)
John Jackson/Flickr Another small spot on the Kansas map, Mildred only holds around 28 people within its limits. The town was founded in 1907 when a cement plant was established.
- Long Island (Phillips County)
GoogleMaps On the bigger side of today’s towns, Long Island has a population around 134. Unfortunately, it’s gone mostly unnoticed and doesn’t have many special happenings to report.
