History

The first post office in Pauline was established in 1872.[2]

Pauline was a stop on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and had a depot, completed in 1910. The depot was relocated to Old Prairie Town at Historic Ward-Meade Historic Site in Topeka in 1983. [3]

There are about 30 houses along with about 20 mobile homes in the mobile home park. Businesses there include three restaurants, two gas stations, an auction house, a bar, a laundromat, and a grocery store. Pauline also has a Super 8 Motel and a modern campground with hook-ups.
