White Rock, Kansas

White Rock is a ghost town in Republic County, Kansas, United States.

White Rock was formally laid out in 1871[3] and school began to be taught that same year.

[3] The town was located on the west side of the Republican River in the White Rock township, approximately 14 miles northwest of Belleville.

In 1878, Republic County voters had the chance to approve $130,000 worth of bonds for the Kansas Pacific railway company to build a railroad line that would have extended from Clifton to the then-thriving towns of Seapo, Belleville and White Rock.

The last residents of White Rock related that city leaders believed their town was so prosperous that the railroad would build through their town whether or not they approved the bonds to help fund the connection.
