Corinth’s history is
mostly unwritten

The public archives hold no old photos of Corinth. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.

The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

A post office was opened in the NE 1/4 of Section 22 in Corinth Township, Osborne County, Kansas, in 1872, with Potter Kenyon as postmaster, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1896. In 1915 the Salina Northern Railroad was built through Corinth Township, and a grain elevator and warehouse were built along the railroad line in the eastern half of Section 28, 1.5 miles southwest of where the post office used to be twenty years ago.

Nothing in Corinth is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Corinth has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Downs Missouri Pacific Depot in Downs, 5 miles away.
