COTTONWOOD SCHOOL,DISTRICT #66
ANDERSON COUNTY, KANSAS
A school house was built 5 miles North of what is known as Westphalia, Ks. It was orginally built in the arly 1870's. Later this schoolhouse was destroyed by a cyclone. Then they built another shcool house & named it Cottonwood, from a group of Cottonwood trees which stood by the roadside south of the school. Cottonwood school district merged voluntarily on 2/27/1947 with a nearby school, so this was the last year it was in operation by itself.
