"BULL'S CITY.
The little frontier settlement founded by General H. C. Bull, as heretofore mentioned, nine miles in advance of Bullock's ranch, then the frontier settlement in the county, has grown to be one of the leading commercial towns in the State. In August 1872, the town plat of this town was recorded, and included in the description as the north half of the northwest quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 12; and the east half of the northwest quarter of Section 12; and the south half of the southwest quarter of Section 1, Town 7 south, Range 15 west.

A postoffice had been established here through the influence of General Bull in the fall of 1870, and himself appointed postmaster, which appointment he held until his tragic death (heretofore mentioned) when his estimable wife, Mrs. Sarah M. Bull, was appointed his successor, which place she still occupies."

I was chasing down a few Waymarks and Benchmarks and grabbed this one and several other historic relics while in the area.

This was one of the neatest Kansas towns "BULL CITY" that I stopped in and had a great time reading all the local history.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
