Welcome to Wyckoff ...

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

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


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

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

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

Wyckoff would have been located in the (620) area code.

Using our Gazetteer, we found that there are two Kansas communities named Wyckoff: This one is located in Lyon County and the other is located in Russell County.

Beyond Kansas, there are 3 communities that are also named Wyckoff - they are located in New Jersey and New York.

Adding Wyckoff to Our Gazetteer ...

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

From that list, the Wyckoff post office opened in 1885.

We also found Wyckoff in the book titled Business Atlas and Shippers' Guide (1895).

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