Wallace, a little town in Wallace county, is located in the township of the same name, 9 miles east of Sharon Springs, the county seat. It has a bank, a hotel, a number of retail establishments, telegraph and express offices, and an international money order postoffice. The population in 1910 was 175. The town has more than doubled in population in the last ten years due to the general prosperity of the tributary farming district.
