Hail Ridge, Kansas

Hail Ridge is a ghost town in Linn County, Kansas, United States, located nine miles (14 km) southwest of Mound City and five miles (8 km) east of Blue Mound.

The one room school building called Hail Ridge was located at the current intersection of Ingram and 600 Road.

Grades 1-8 were taught and most children rode horses or walked to the school.

Formerly (1879 – 1888) Hail Ridge had a US post office[2] that possibly was located where the Weatherby family had a general store located at the midpoint of the southern border of section 30 in the Mound City Township.

Family names of those who lived in the area during the early to late 1900s were Paddock, Stites, Stockhoff, Strawbridge, Robinson, Sisson, Priest, Morrell, Weatherby, Davis, Johnson, and Rogers.
