Welcome to Lakeside ...

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

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

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

While we don't have a date for the founding of Lakeside, you might consider that their post office opened in 1885.

Time Zone: The area where Lakeside was located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time

If Lakeside still existed, it would have been in the (620) area code.

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 Lakeside, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>	If you're interested in how the shape of Kansas' counties, including Bourbon, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
