A view from 1939:

KREMLIN, (2,832 alt., 85 pop.), is said to have been so named by Russian settlers because they saw the citadel of Moscow in the mirages that appear on the surrounding prairie. On the unplowed lands along the highway grows short but highly nutritious buffalo grass. Some of the more prosperous ranchers of the vicinity lease their idle lands; others in the fall buy up as many cattle and sheep as they can afford to winter on the prairie. Thus when grain crops are poor, or prices low, they are assured of a moderate cash income.
