However, Abilene became the county seat and Detroit ceased to grow from that point forward.[4] A post office was opened in Detroit in 1866, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1961.[5] Detroit was a station on the Union Pacific Railroad.[6] GeographyDetroit is located halfway between Abilene and Chapman, {{convert|2|mi|0}} north of Enterprise. The town is at an elevation of {{convert|1147|ft}} above sea level.[7] Detroit is a "square" town, two blocks long and two blocks wide. The three north-south streets are Main, Middle, and School. The three east-west streets are First, Second, and Third. There are no more streets in Detroit. All six streets are unpaved. CommerceAt one time Detroit maintained an active store and grocery, a train depot, a nightclub, a school and a church. In recent years most buildings have collapsed or been renovated for use as a dwelling. The one exception is the pub. Although it has changed ownership and its official business name, locals have simply referred to it as "The Midway" or "The Beer Joint". Because of its proximity to the intersection of county roads, it has become a local landmark. In 1898, a newspaper titled The Detroit Free Press attempted to build circulation. Records are not found past the first year of 1898.[8] It does not appear to have any connection to the Detroit Free Press published in Detroit, Michigan.[9] Agriculture and agriculture-related businesses are the primary economic industries. The United States Post Office operated a branch in Detroit that opened on April 6, 1866, and ceased operation on June 23, 1961.[10] GalleryFurther reading{{See also|Dickinson County, Kansas#Further reading|l1=List of books about Dickinson County, Kansas}}References1. ^1 2 3 4 Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) details for Detroit, Kansas; United States Geological Survey (USGS); October 13, 1978. 2. ^{{cite web| url=http://factfinder2.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US2017875| title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Detroit CDP, Kansas| publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder| accessdate=October 26, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ODXKhgH3e6AC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA39#v=onepage&q&f=false | title=Exploring Kansas Highways | author=Heim, Michael | year=2007 | pages=39}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.kancoll.org/books/cutler/dickinson/dickinson-co-p2.html#EARLY_HISTORY|title=Dickinson County Early History|accessdate=March 16, 2012|first=William|last=Cutler|publisher=Kansas Collection of Books}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.kshs.org/geog/geog_postoffices/search/county:DK |title=Kansas Post Offices, 1828-1961 (archived) |publisher=Kansas Historical Society |accessdate=8 June 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130909023757/http://www.kshs.org/geog/geog_postoffices/search/county%3ADK |archivedate=September 9, 2013 |df= }} 6. ^{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=o8X5krq3fP8C&pg=PA516#v=onepage&q&f=false | title=Kansas: A Cyclopedia of State History, Embracing Events, Institutions, Industries, Counties, Cities, Towns, Prominent Persons, Etc. | publisher=Standard Publishing Company | author=Blackmar, Frank Wilson | year=1912 | pages=516}} 7. ^Blue Skyways 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84029460/|publisher=National Endowment for the Humanities|title=About Detroit free press.
