==History== |
|||
The new Hog Back Siding was located at the farms settled in 1878 by Kepple Disney and his children.<ref name= Atlas1922 >{{cite book|publisher= Geo. A. Ogle & Co. |title= Standard Atlas of Ellis County, Kansas |year= 1922 |access-date = November 30, 2018 |url= https://www.kansasmemory.org/item/223993/page/29 |location= Chicago }} [Thomas Disney was Kepple Disney's brother. North of the siding is the Beaver Bank school where some of the Disneys taught.]</ref> These are the grandfather, aunts, and uncles of [[Walt Disney]]. From there, Walt's father, [[Elias Disney]] left for Florida in the 1880s. The Disneys frequented Ellis while that community recognized that the Disneys' home was "at Hogback".<ref name= DisneyHome>{{cite news |url= https://www.newspapers.com/image/427127066/?terms=%22hogback%22&match=1 |newspaper= The Ellis Review-Headlight |date= May 1, 1925 |page= 6 |title= Community Notes |quote= Mrs. Thomas Disney returned to her home at Hogback. }}</ref> After Walt Disney established [[Disneyland]], the family farms there were known locally as "Disneyland, KS".<ref name= DisneyKS>{{cite news |url= https://newspapers.com/image/1314669/? |newspaper= The Hays Daily News |date= April 29, 1962 |page= 12 |title= Kansas' Disneyland is Preserved in Tradition for Generations to Come }}</ref> |
|||
No town was ever established there. By the 1880s, a school had been established there one half mile north of the railroad tracks, which was named Beaver Bank for being built on the bank of a beaver dam on [[Big Creek (Kansas)|Big Creek]]. Disneys supported and taught at that school, Elias meeting Walt's mother there.<ref name= BeaverBank>{{cite news |url= https://newspapers.com/image/1314669/? |newspaper= The Hays Daily News |date= April 29, 1962 |page= 12 |title= Kansas' Disneyland is Preserved in Tradition for Generations to Come |quote= Flora Call, the mother of Walt Disney, went to school there. The school recieved its name because of the big dam across the creek [the beavers] had built.}}</ref> Much later, the school was the meeting place of the Busy Beavers 4-H Club.<ref name= BusyBeaverS>{{cite news |url= https://www.newspapers.com/image/1958333/?terms=beavers&match=1 |newspaper= The Hays Daily News |date= December 14, 1958 |page= 4 |title= Busy Beavers 4-H Meeting |quote= Al Schenk talked to Busy Beavers 4-H Club members at a meating Monday night at the Beaver Bank School. }}</ref> |
|||
A cattle corral and a granary were built early at the new siding.<ref name= AtHome >{{cite book |title= At Home in Ellis County 1867–1992 |volume= 1 |publisher= Ellis County Historical Society |year= 1991 |pages= 65 |quote= [picture of] Harvey and Lyle Luce at the elevator their father operated at Hog Back.}}</ref> By the 1950s, only a shed depot remained,<ref>{{cite web |website= Kansas Memories |url=https://www.kshs.org/index.php?url=km/items/view/97349 |title= Union Pacific Railroad Company's shed depot, Hogback, Kansas |date= November 20, 1954 |quote= This photograph shows the Union Pacific Railroad Company's shed depot and sign board in Hogback, Kansas. }}</ref> which was later removed, leaving only the big railroad sign announcing "Hogback" until the 1980s. |
