Treece is a ghost town in Cherokee County, Kansas, United States,[1] and part of the historic Tri-State Mining District. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 138.[2] As of May 2012 the city was abandoned and most buildings and other facilities demolished due to pervasive problems with lead pollution resulting from past mining. Two people who had refused an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) buyout remained in 2012, then one died in 2016.[3]
