Emmeram, Kansas
Unincorporated community in Ellis County, Kansas From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emmeram is an unincorporated community in Herzog Township, Ellis County, Kansas, United States.[1]
In 1899, Catholic parishioners from nearby Herzog established a new parish six miles to the north and began construction of Sacred Heart Church, which they completed in 1901.[2] Originally named Norddorf, the community was renamed Emmeram after Emmeram Kausler, the church pastor.[3] The community grew to include two schools, and a town plot was filed in 1902, but the town was never built.[4] A post office operated in Emmeram from 1903 to 1904.[5]
Emmeram is located approximately one-half mile northeast of Walker Creek, part of the Smoky Hill River watershed, in the Smoky Hills region of the Great Plains.[6][7] Emmeram is roughly 5.5 miles (8.9 km) north of Interstate 70 and 11 miles (18 km) northeast of Hays, the county seat.[7]
Emmeram lies at the intersection of two unpaved county roads, Emmeram Road, which runs east–west, and 350th Avenue, which runs north–south.[7]
