About this property
The Strong City Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Depot is a historic railway station at 102 West Topeka Avenue in Strong City, Kansas. The station was built by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) in 1913 to replace the city's previous station. The ATSF first built a line through the city in 1872, bypassing the county seat of Cottonwood Falls. To honor the railroad, the city changed its name from Cottonwood Station to Strong City in 1881 for ATSF vice president William Barstow Strong. Strong City's first railroad station was a simple wood building, and after a 1902 fire the town replaced it with a board-and-batten structure.
