Towns & Villages in Greenwood County<\/h2>\n

Greenwood County has 18 named places on record: 7 incorporated cities, 2 Census-designated
\nplaces, 4 unincorporated communities with post-office history but no CDP status, and 5 recognized
\nghost towns. The Type column uses CDP for Census-designated place and Unincorp. for a community
\nwith no formal boundary; several older place lists for this county included names such as Bisbee,
\nBlodgett, Burkett, Hilltop, Kenbro, Rocky Ford and Sallyards, none of which the U.S. Census Bureau
\nor the Kansas Historical Society records as a distinct Greenwood County place, so they are left off
\nthis table.<\/p>\n

Severy and Climax share ZIP code 67137, and Lamont has no post office of its own so mail there is
\nrouted through Madison’s 66855. Quincy the unincorporated community sits inside Quincy
\nTownship, which is otherwise open farmland — the two share a name but the township is not
\nbuilt around the settlement in the way Eureka Township is built around the county seat.<\/p>\n
