History

Damar was established along the Union Pacific Railroad in 1888 by a community of French Canadians. The community had emigrated from Canada as early as 1871, settling on farms along the Rooks County–Graham County line in northwest Kansas. According to tradition, the community was named after D.M. Marr, the original owner of the town site.

The nearby Enfield Post Office was relocated to Damar in 1894.

In 1920, Damar had three elevators, two implement dealerships, a hardware store, a lumber yard, a dry goods store, grocery stores, a barbershop, a bank, and an opera hall.
