About Baxter Springs, Kansas
Baxter Springs is a city of 3,888 people in Cherokee County, on the western bank of the Spring River less than two miles from the Oklahoma line. A. Baxter claimed land here in 1858, while it still belonged to the government, and in 1865 Jeff Davis and a man named Armstrong staked claims next to his. Texas cattle drives were halting nearby, so in 1866 Capt. M. Man and his partner, J. J. Barnes, platted an eighty-acre town site. They named it for Baxter and for the springs, which people believed could heal.
The cattle trade made the town grow fast, and by 1872 nearly 4,000 people lived here. Sure of a great future, the town voted $150,000 in bonds for the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf Railroad in 1869, then more for a school, a courthouse and jail, and streets, until it owed more than all its property was worth. When new laws pushed the cattle trail west and lead mines drew people away, owners abandoned lots to escape the taxes, and some lots sold for 17 cents. Bondholders finally settled for 18 to 50 cents on the dollar, and the last $20,000 was refinanced with 6 percent funding bonds in January 1880.
“Society was in a state of chaos.”
- The Black Dog TrailOsage men under Chief Black Dog finished a trail by 1803 that ran from their winter lands east of here southwest to the Great Salt Plains in present-day Oklahoma. They paused at the springs to heal on the way to their summer hunts. Cleared of brush and rocks, with earth ramps down to the fords, the trail let eight riders travel side by side, and it became the first improved road in Kansas and Oklahoma.
- The fight at Fort Blair, 1863Union troops built small posts here, including Fort Baxter, Camp Ben Butler and Camp Hunter. On October 4, 1863, about 400 of Quantrill's raiders bound for Texas attacked Fort Blair while part of its garrison was away. The defenders, mostly United States Colored Troops, held it. On the prairie the raiders then overwhelmed a separate party of 103 Union men, killing nearly all. Later that year the army withdrew to Fort Scott and tore down Fort Baxter.
- County seat, then notBaxter Springs became the seat of Cherokee County in November 1867, but in February 1869 the seat moved to Columbus. The town still hoped to win it back, and in 1871 it voted $10,000 in bonds to build a courthouse and jail it planned to give to the county.
- Ordinance 42Lead strikes across the tri-state area revived the region's towns in the early 1900s. The Baxter Springs city council passed Ordinance 42, which sharply limited mining inside city limits, and that spared the town the damage nearby towns suffered. Mine owners built grand houses here, and many mining executives kept their offices in town.
- On Route 66 since 1926In 1926 the downtown main street became part of Route 66, the highway between Chicago and Los Angeles, and motels and quick places to eat grew up along it. Route 66 passed through only three towns in Kansas, and Baxter Springs was one of them.
