Weaver, Kansas

Weaver is a ghost town in Douglas County, Kansas, United States.

By 1865 several investors took ownership of the area before Henry Weaver obtained a large portion of the land.

John F. Weaver, Henry's youngest son went on to own several businesses in the Weaver area including a general store, rock crushing business and a potato bucket manufacturing company.

The Weaver community was located close to the southern bank of the Kansas River.

The area lies in a region called "Weaver Bottoms," which is in the Kansas River floodplain.
