Winkler, an inland hamlet of Riley county, is located in Fancy Creek township 35 miles from Manhattan, the county seat, and 8 miles from Randolph, the nearest shipping point. It has a money order postoffice. The population in 1910 was 18. The place was named for August Winkler of St. Louis, who settled in the vicinity in 1857 and built the first permanent grist mill of the county. At that time it was known as Winkler Mills.
