Coolidge sits in Hamilton County, Kansas, along Highway 50 in the far southwestern corner of the state. With a population of 104 spread across nearly 93 square miles, this isn't a town in the traditional sense. It's a farming community where homes and ranches are scattered across the high plains.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no home delivery across the entire 93-square-mile territory. The Coolidge post office maintains 59 PO Boxes for 47 households, and the adoption rate of 1.26 means the post office serves people beyond just the immediate area. Nearby farms and rural residents rely on this location for all mail service.
Rural carrier routes connect the scattered population. Two rural routes (R001 and R002) cover 46 delivery points, while the post office itself handles 59 boxes. Streets like W Hwy 50, N Elm St, and N Main St provide the town's basic grid, supplemented by county roads (CR B, CR C, CR 16.5) that reach into the surrounding farmland.
This is working agricultural territory. The area has 3 business establishments employing 24 people. Census data shows 12% of workers in agriculture and 25% in transportation and warehousing, pointing to the grain and cattle economy that supports rural Kansas. Median household income stands at $73,750, above the state average for such a small community.
