St. Louis& San Francisco Railway box depot in Beulah, Kansas by H. Killam, 1859
Beulah, Kansas, is an unincorporated community and officially an extinct town in Crawford County. Located in Sheridan Township, the town was founded in 1874 by a colony of Methodists. The settlement gained a post office on December 31, 1874. It also was a station on the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad. The Methodist church was completed in 1881.
By 1910, it had a money order post office, express and telegraph service, a good local trade, and a population of 100. Beulah remained a small community in the following decades. Its post office closed on March 15, 1955.
Today, the town still has a small population, several homes, grain silos, and a community church.
