Larkinburg, a hamlet of Jackson county, is located on the Leavenworth, Kansas and Western branch of the Union Pacific R. R. 9 miles east of Holton, the county seat. It is in the midst of a prosperous farming community and does considerable shipping. There are two stores, telegraph and express offices and a money order postoffice. The population in 1910 was 129. The town took its name from M. E. Larkin, who owned the land south of the town site. It was laid out in 1880, although a postoffice by the name of Larkin had existed since 1873, with Henry Priddy as postmaster.
