ATSF Station • Strong City KS • 03/23/24

            The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe built a line across Kansas in 1872 that bypassed 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.  In the early 1910s, the ATSF began replacing the stations in its most important stops with permanent brick buildings; the new stations were known as county-seat depots, as they typically served a county seat or the most important station in a county.  The Strong City depot, built in 1913, is typical of the ATSF's corporate architecture at the time and includes elements of the American Craftsman and Mission Revival styles.  It served passenger trains until the late 1940s and continued to function as a railway office for many years afterward.  (Strong City, Kansas – March 23, 2024)
