Population and activity

The population of Endicott peaked in 1920, and has decreased since. This was caused by improved farm technology, allowing more area to be farmed by the same number of people. The decrease in population has affected the economy of the town: in the 1950s, the town had numerous stores; in 2011, the town has only a grocery store, a post office and a service station. 1987, The Endicott High School was closed as the Endicott district merged with neighboring community of St John: the class of 1986 only had one student.[1] The elementary school is still operational, and the community host the middle school for both St. John and Endicott.
