Lund is a ghost town in Summit Township of Decatur County, Kansas, United States.[1] It was located 12 miles south and 4 miles west of Oberlin.

History

[edit]

Lund was issued a post office in 1892. The post office was discontinued in 1907 when it was moved to Dresden (10 miles southeast of Lund).[2] Lund was not named on the 1910 census but was part of Summit Township, population 24.

A church and cemetery are all that remains of this former community.
