Banks is a ghost town in Osborne County, Kansas, United States.[1]

History

Banks was never a ghost town by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a rural post office in a farmhouse - nothing more. The Banks post office was organized in 1880. The post office was discontinued in 1888. There is nothing left of Banks.[2]
