About Burden, KS

In 1879, in anticipation of the coming of the Kansas City, Lawrence and Southern Railroad, the town of Burden was surveyed and laid out by a town company including Robert F. Burden, for whom the town is named. The railroad, whose name changed to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, arrived on February 1, 1882. The early buildings included a general store, drug store, and post office. The post office, called Burdenville until 1884, was established in 1879.
