Norwood, Kansas

Norwood is a ghost town in north Franklin County, Kansas, United States. It is located approximately 1.25 miles (2.01 km) east of U.S. Route 59 on Stafford Road, and 2 miles (3.2 km) south of the Franklin-Douglas county line.

The town was named after Henry Ward Beecher's novel Norwood: or, Village Life in New England. A post office was established at Norwood in 1868 which closed and reopened a few times until it closed permanently in 1914.

Today, the city is considered a ghost town, serving only as a stop on the recreational Midland Railway. The town now consists of one house, one train depot, and public restroom facilities.
