Catharine is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Catherine Township, Ellis County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population of the community was 104.
History:
Volga German immigrants founded and settled Catharine in April 1876, naming it after Katharinestadt, the town they came from in Russia. Katharinestadt was the economic center of the German colonies in Russia and, as a result, Catharine's settlers were initially wealthier than those of other Volga German settlements in the area. More German settlers from Katharinestadt arrived over the next two years followed by Austrians from Moravia beginning in 1878.
The community's first school opened in 1879 and doubled as a church until the completion of St. Catherine's Catholic Church in 1892. The first post office in Catharine opened in 1882.
