Elmdale, Kansas
There have been many floods during the history of Elmdale.  In June and July 1951, due to heavy rains, rivers and streams flooded many cities in Kansas, including Elmdale. Many reservoirs and levees were built in Kansas as part of a response to the Great Flood of 1951. A levy was built and saved the town from many floods, but in 1998 a flood went over the levy.
