Fairmount, a village of Leavenworth county, is situated in the eastern portion on the Union Pacific R. R. about 9 miles south of Leavenworth. The town was laid out in 1867 and soon became a prosperous settlement. The Methodists and Presbyterians both built churches at an early day; a school was one of the first considerations, and today the village has four stores and one factory. There is a money order postoffice, telegraph and express facilities, and in 1910 the population was 100.
