Le Hunt, Kansas

Le Hunt (sometimes rendered as LeHunt) is a ghost town in Montgomery County, Kansas, United States.

[1] While most of the site has been reclaimed by nature, the ruins of the United Kansas Portland Cement Company plant can still be seen today in the woods along the eastern shore of Elk City Lake.

In 1913, the local newspaper announced that the plant would be temporarily closed to make repairs and sell its surplus stock.

With limited housing and no major company to anchor the settlement, Le Hunt faded until it was nothing more than a derelict ghost town.

[7] According to Legends of America, "While trees and weeds try to choke out where the town's cement plant once stood, the walls, ovens and giant smokestack of the factory are still remarkably intact.
