Hollis, Kansas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hollis is an unincorporated community in Cloud County, Kansas, United States.[1]

History

1909 tornado damage

The community was originally named Christie, for W. J. Christie, the original owner of the town site.[2]

Hollis was a shipping point located at the junction of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and the Union Pacific Railroads.[3]

A tornado hit Hollis on May 14, 1909, at five o'clock in the evening[4] causing serious damage and killing several people. The town was "swept away" by the tornado[4] Only three buildings in the town were reported to have escaped damage, and total damage estimates were over $50,000 in 1909 dollars.[4] In 1910, the community reported a population of just 50 people.[5]

Education

The community is served by Concordia USD 333 public school district.
