Thurber, a little inland hamlet in the northern part of Reno county, is located 24 miles northwest of Hutchinson, the county seat. Sterling, on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and the Missouri Pacific railroads, in Lyons county, 8 miles to the northeast, is the nearest railroad station and shipping point, and it is from this postoffice that the Thurber mail is distributed by rural delivery.
