Comiskey is a ghost town in Morris County, Kansas, United States.[1] It was located approximately {{Convert|6|mi|km}} east of Council Grove, next to the county line.

History

Comiskey was platted in 1887 and originally a whistle-stop of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. A post office existed in Comiskey from 1887 to 1929 (about 42 years).[2] In 1910, the community had a population of 28.[3]

Following the St. Louis Browns victory in the 1886 World Series over the Chicago White Stockings, the Missouri Pacific Railroad honored several of the St. Louis players by naming some of their depots after the players. This community was named in honor of St. Louis Browns 1st baseman Charles Comiskey (later he founded Chicago White Sox and built Comiskey Park). The neighboring city of Bushong was named after Doc Bushong from the same team.[4]

Comiskey Cemetery still exists about {{Convert|0.5|mi|km}} north of the former community at southwest of the intersection of 100 Rd and U Ave.

Geography

Comiskey was located at {{coord|38|38|40|N|96|21|15|W|type:city}} (38.6444525, -96.3541663),[1] which is about {{Convert|1.5|mi|km}} south of U.S. 56 highway on 100 Rd in Morris County, Kansas. It should be noted that 100 Rd is the county line between Morris and Lyon counties.
