History


Gerlane once had its own bank, the Gerlane State Bank, chartered in 1917.[2] Gerlane was situated on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, but declined after the tracks were removed in 1942.[3][4]

A post office was opened in Gerlane in 1909, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1943.[5]
