Title

Golden Belt Road, Kingsville, Kansas

Description

Southeast of Rossville, Kansas, (between Rossville and Silver Lake) stood the town of Kingsville which Andrew Wilson built and erected at his own expense: a depot (pictured), hotel, store, blacksmith shop, cattle yard, scales, and a stone school house. In 1877 the Kansas Pacific Railroad advertised that “the quickest and safest route to all points east or west is the KPRR “Golden Belt Route.” This name was later applied to the highway that closely paralleled the railroad. This picture was taken the same time as RCL0066.
