Idana is an unincorporated community in Clay County, Kansas, United States. It is located near the town of Clay Center, south of US Route 24.[2]

History

Idana is combination of the names of two settlers: Ida Howland and Anna Broughton.[3]

A post office was opened in Chapmanville (an extinct town) in 1879, but it was moved to Idana in 1882 and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1980.[4]

Idana was located on the Union Pacific Railroad.[5]
