Silverdale is a small unincorporated community in Cowley County, Kansas, United States.[3]

History

The post office was established June 5, 1871, and temporarily closed October 19, 1883 before being reopened December 12, 1883. It was permanently closed on July 31, 1964.[4]

At one time the town had a hotel, general store, bank, and other businesses supporting a population of over 100 people. Today only a church and limestone quarry remain with perhaps a dozen residences. The quarry specialized in fine cut, quality limestone that fetches $300 and more per ton.
