History

The surrounding area is steeped in history and lore of the cowboys and was historically a favored hunting and camping ground of Cheyenne, Sioux, Pawnee and Arapahoe Indians.

In 1793, the Mallet brothers, French traders from the Illinois French settlement, traveled as far west as the junction of the South Platte for then for some distance before turning south to the Arkansas River, and onto Santa Fe. It is claimed these Frenchman gave the nearby River its name—Platte. The 1803 Louisiana Purchase made the region part of the United States.

With the discovery of gold in California and in the Pikes Peak region of Colorado, pioneers traveled the famous trails through Sedgwick County. The Overland Stage, (1859), the Oregon and Mormon Trails, Bozeman Trail, the Upper California crossing, the Western Union Telegraph, the Union Pacific Railroad, and the only Pony Express station in Colorado (1860) were all near this property. These trails and other nature and historic landmarks have been marked throughout Sedgwick County. Sedgwick County was organized in 1889 from a part of Logan County, which was territory originally occupied by the Arapahoe and Cheyenne Indians. The county and nearby community was named in honor of General John Sedgwick, who was command of Fort Wize on the Arkansas River.
