Elmo, Kansas
Elmo is a small unincorporated community in Dickinson County, Kansas, United States.〔 Elmo is located south of Abilene at the northwest corner of K-15 and K-4.
==History==
Elmo started about one mile from of its current location, but the source of the name is unknown. When the Missouri Pacific Railroad was built through the area, the railroad didn't like the Elmo location because it was sloping ground, so it built a station at nearby Banner City (current location of Elmo).〔(''Standard Atlas of Dickinson County, Kansas'' ); Geo. A. Ogle & Co; Page 32 of 63; 1901.]〕 The old Elmo post office was moved to Banner City around 1887. The name Banner City already existed in Jackson and Trego counties, so eventually the Elmo name replaced it.〔(''Kansas town of Elmo now quiet after a busy past''; Lawrence Journal-World; January 16, 2012. )〕 The post office was opened in Elmo on December 16, 1884, and remained in operation until it was discontinued on May 6, 1966.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Kansas Post Offices, 1828-1961 (archived) )〕 The railroad was removed in the 1990s.
In 1899, Elias Sellerds discovered a well-preserved trove of insect fossils about 3 miles south of Elmo in the Lower-Permian Elmo-Limestone member of the Wellington-Formation.〔〔(''A type catalog of Fossil Invertebrates (Arthropoda: Hexapoda) in the Yale Peabody Museum - Postilla 209''; Russell D. White; Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University; 1994/1995. )〕 In 1925, Frank M. Carpenter begins studying the fossil bed.〔(''The Permian Insect Fossils of Elmo, Kansas''; Emporia State University; 2000. )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Fossil Insects )〕 In 1928, Robert John Tillyard researched the same fossil bed.〔(R. J. Tillyard; Winds of Kansas. )〕 The Elmo site has produced tens of thousands of specimens, with more than 150 species of insects described, including large fossils of Meganeuropsis.〔(''The entomofauna of the Lower Permian fossil insect beds of Kansas and Oklahoma, USA''; Roy J. Beckemeyer1 and Joseph D. Hall; 2007. )〕 The site is located on private land and closed to the public.〔(Elmo Fossil Beds; Winds of Kansas. )〕
In 2014, a group of locals adopted the Sesame Street character Elmo as its mascot to be placed on a new sign.〔(Town of Elmo makes new sign; KWCH tv; July 3, 2014. )〕
