History & geography

History

The community was originally known as "Memphis". In the late 1880s, this community was involved in a "fight" to attract a railroad station against nearby Colokan, Kansas (now a ghost town). In 1931, five students and their bus driver died in the Pleasant Hill bus tragedy near Towner. The Sheridan Lake post office (Zip Code 81071) serves Towner postal addresses. Towner's post office (ZIP Code 81080) closed down in 1992. It was a frequent attraction for Kansans when their state was "dry". The town currently supports two grain elevators. Its population swells during harvest due to the influx of agricultural crews who often camp in the town.
