Was established after the land run, in 1886, and was a small neighboring farming community close to Kaw City. Population never reached more than a couple of hundred, and in 1969 was evacuated due to the completion of Kaw lake. Uncas is the spill way for the lake now, and sometimes floods when the lake is too full. Submitted by: William Wood
