Welcome to Fort Aubrey ...

So far, we found very little information about Fort Aubrey. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

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


While we don't have the exact location of Fort Aubrey , we believe that it would have been located within present day Hamilton County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Fort Aubrey, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1866.

The location where Fort Aubrey once stood is in the (620) area code.

Adding Fort Aubrey to Our Gazetteer ...

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Fort Aubrey was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

From that list, the Fort Aubrey post office opened in 1866.

For more details, see References and Mentions for Fort Aubrey.

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Fort Aubrey, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Kansas' counties, including Hamilton, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>A copy of their list with background information can be found at:
