Do you know of Throop ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Throop. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Throop.<1>

Our sources for Throop (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Throop other than they indicate that Throop would be found somewhere in Washington County, Kansas.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1890 and closed  in 1903.
