Question 3 • OK-Oklahoma History -CA- 37411A

Why did the town of Nicodemus in Kansas fail to thrive?

Answer
A
It never established irrigation systems.
B
It never had an established population.
C
It never got access to a railroad depot.
D
It never applied for a town charter.

Explanation

Nicodemus was founded as a Black settlement in Kansas, but the railroad never built a depot there. Without convenient rail access, residents and businesses had fewer ways to transport people and goods, limiting the town’s growth. The correct choice is “It never got access to a railroad depot.”
