Abstract

The lost town of Ottumwa, Coffey County, Kansas was settled by migrants of the Northern Midland Migration movement who shared similar progressive values and beliefs. The town experienced a brief period of prosperity, in which the town was home to a small college. This study uses early maps of the county, newspapers, personal reminiscences, and visits to the townsite to provide a history of Ottumwa, Kansas.
