Welcome to Athens ...

Although we found mention of Athens during our research, we have little information about it.^<1> We believe that Athens had a post office at one time. We have done a cursory search and haven't been able to find any evidence that the community still exists.

While we are confident that Athens was located in Jewell County, we don't know its actual location within the county.

We've added Athens to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Athens - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Athens, please Contact Us.

Time Zone: The area where we believe that Athens might be (or was) located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time

We believe that Athens would be found within the (785) area code.

Footnotes ...

<1>

If we encounter the name of what might be a community, our methodology is to add that name to our Gazetteer. For example, we might find a sentence like "He went north past Athens and then turned east". While Athens could be some kind of landmark, we think that it's more likely to be a community. We've added Athens as a placeholder with the hope that we'll be able to add more information in the future.

Just as a reminder: Our definition of a community is rather broad and includes those places where several families lived and had a name which identified that place. The community might still exist or it might have existed for just a short period of time. Places of interest include buildings at a crossroad, families in a hollow or maybe the location of a way station. It also includes places like mines, lumber camps, ferry crossings, etc.

Also keep in mind that Athens could have been on the original document by mistake, misspelled, the original/alternate name of a community that we've listed elsewhere or was placed in the wrong county. Sometimes a post office or train station would have a different name than the community where it's located, so two names might be referring to the same community.
