Osro is a ghost town in Chautauqua County, Kansas, United States.[1]

History

A post office in Chautauqua County called Ozro operated from 1888 to 1892.[2]

Osro’s location is within a mile of Osro Falls, also known as Ozro Falls, an old covered wagon crossing point on the Caney River.[3][4] The waterfall only measures about 3 feet in height, but extends nearly 200 feet across the river.[4]
