Laton (initially Eagle Creek) was a small settlement in Corning Township, Rooks County, Kansas, United States.

History

Eagle Creek was issued a post office in 1878. In 1884 the post office name was changed to Laton before being discontinued in 1904.[2] In addition to the post office Laton had a school, store, cream station, garage, blacksmith shop, and telephone office.[3] The population in 1910 was 30.[4]

The Midland Trail (Red Line Highway) passed thru Laton on its initial route in 1914. The creation of U.S Route 40N (US-24) to the north and K-18 highway to the south by-passed Laton.[5]

Laton School District R-5, Rooks County, Kansas was disorganized in 1962.[6] There is nothing left of Laton.
