This American Town: Dilah, Kansas

Population: 1,738
Motto: “We’re tired of the Wizard of Oz references”
High school mascot: Lions
Mayor: Jan Water
Founded: 1849
Fun fact: Upon passing through on horse and carriage, Abraham Lincoln called Dilah “a horrendous eyesight, truly a despicable piece of land”. A plaque hangs in the town square to commemorate the president’s quote.
