HISTORY OF CHERRYVALE,
KANSAS
1882
Cherryvale Downtown Business District, 100 block on East
and West Main Street. Since Cherryvale had six brick
factories, most of the streets, sidewalks, and downtown buildings were
constructed from these bricks. 1882 saw the advent of sun-dried brick
streets. The wood planked sidewalks were replaced in 1898 with kiln
bricks from the Corbin plant and later, in the early 1900s, the brick
sidewalks were widened to sixteen feet. Late 1800s saw the multiple
use of gas throughout Cherryvale as a result of its immense
underground natural gas fields and its use as a clean cheap fuel.
The
downtown streets were electrified in 1888. Water came to the downtown
area in 1899 from Lake Tanko and in 1904 the first sewers were put
into service. In 1899, a local and long distance telephone system
was installed.
