Jefferson is an unincorporated community in Montgomery County, Kansas, United States.[1]
History
Jefferson was laid out in 1886 when the railroad was extended to that point. It was named for Albert Jefferson Broadbent, the original owner of the town site.[2]
A post office was opened in Jefferson in 1888, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1954.[3]
Currently, only a small general store is located here, and less than a dozen houses. Nearby is a guest ranch with an RV park.
