Zook, Kansas

Zook was a town located in Pawnee County, Kansas.^[1]^[2] The town was started by the Mennonite John Zook, who came to Larned, Kansas, in the 1880s and then moved his family to the location that would become Zook, a mile east of what is now Highway 19 in southeastern Pawnee County.^[2]
