History


Mount Selman was established in 1884 along the Kansas and Gulf Short Line Railroad. Its post office opened the same year as its creation. The community became a shipping center along the railroad for peaches, plums, and tomatoes. Its population peaked at 500 in 1914, and the town began to decline after that point. The post office closed in 1973, and the population was estimated at 200 in 2000.[2]
