History

Homewood was located on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway at altitude 1,039 feet (317 m) above sea level. In 1900, it contained a population of about 100 inhabitants. Around this time, a number of stores operated out of the community, and it also had its own school. It was the supply and shipping point for the surrounding rural area.

The Homewood post office located in the community in 1877 had been the Forest Home post office earlier that year. It closed in 1955.
