Jackson County, Kansas , was one of the counties created by the first territorial legislature in 1855. First named Calhoun County for pro-slavery South Carolina Senator John C. Calhoun, it was renamed in 1859 for President Andrew Jackson .  As of the 2020 census, the county population was 13,232. Its county seat and the most populous city is Holton.

Jackson County is located in the second tier south of Nebraska and the second west of Missouri . It is bounded on the west by Pottawatomie County , on the south by Wabaunsee and Shawnee , on the east by Jefferson and Atchison , and on the north by Nemaha and Brown Counties.

John Charles Fremont by John C. Buttre, 1859.

The first exploration in the region was by Etienne Veniard de Bourgmont and his company of Frenchmen, who made a journey in 1724 through Kansas lands to the Padouca Indians. He passed through Jackson County when traveling from a point above Atchison to the Kansas River just west of Shawnee County. The next exploring party was conducted in 1819 by Dr. Thomas Say, who, with four other scientists, went west as far as the Kansas village where Manhattan now stands and, returning, passed through Jackson County on their way to Cow Island near Atchison. Charles Fremont , “the Pathfinder,” passed through in 1843 on his trip to the Rocky Mountains .

The surface of the county is undulating plains. The largest stream is the Big Soldier, which flows from north to south through the western part of the county and empties into the Kansas River. Other streams are Cross Creek, Little Soldier, North and South Cedar Creeks, Straight, Elk, Spring, Bills, and Muddy Creeks.

The boundaries defined by the legislature of 1855 contained 1,140 square miles. The county was surveyed in the same year, and a place seven miles from Topeka near the old Calhoun Bluffs was made the first county seat.

The settlements within the county’s borders date back to the 1830s when Captain Alley of Kentucky established a trading post on the Kansas River. But settlement within the present borders did not begin until 1855, when the county was divided into three townships, Douglas, Atchison, and Haliday. Franklin Township was formed in 1856, Jefferson in 1858, Grant in 1870, Netawaka in 1871, Whiting, Liberty, and Soldier in 1872; Cedar and Washington in 1873; and Straight Creek, Adrian, and Garfield since then.

The first settlers in Douglas Township came in 1855: John Rippetoe, William Cunningham, David Rice, Josiah Seal, Byron Stewart, J. W. Willard, A. W. Bainbridge, Hugh Piper, and Rufus Rice. The land was not surveyed, and the settlers established their lines by stakes or blazes on trees. They got their mail from Indianola, Ozawkie, or Grasshopper Falls.

Bleeding Kansas Fight

Cedar Township was settled in 1855 by S. J. Elliott; Jefferson Township in 1854 by Francis Smith; Franklin Township in 1854 by N. D. Lewis; Grant Township in the late 1850s by Peter Dickson, R. P. Hamm, William Cruzan, J. P. Fraidley, John James, S. Stephenson, and T. Keir; Liberty Township was settled at a date not given, by Missourians, and is said to be the oldest settlement in the county. Some of the early settlers were: Charles Bateman, J. B. Parrot, Alfred Fuller, James Piper, W. R. Hodges, and J. W. Taylor; Straight Creek Township in 1855 by J. H. Thompson; Soldier Township in 1857 by William Kline, Henry Rancier, William Knipe, W. Branham, and the Fairbanks; and Washington, Netawaka and Whiting Townships were not settled until in the 1860s.

The first election for county officers was held on October 1, 1855. The first officers were: James Kuykendall, probate judge; J. T. Wilson, sheriff; Anthony Wilson, treasurer; and James Kuykendall, William Alley, and P. P. Beeler, commissioners. James Kuykendall was at different times probate judge, register of deeds, county clerk, and prosecuting attorney. He was one of the early businessmen of the county. District court was held for the first time by Judge S. D. Lecompte on September 24, 1855.

Liberty School in Jackson County, Kansas.

The famous Lane Trail ran through Jackson County, and the “ Battle of the Spurs ” occurred at Fuller’s Ford on Straight Creek, near one of the stations of the “underground railway.” During the Civil War , Jackson County furnished 175 volunteers, most of whom joined the Eleventh cavalry, the Fifth cavalry, and the Eighth infantry.

New county boundary lines were defined in 1857 when the organization of the county took place. The legislature established the present boundary lines in 1858 when the county seat was permanently located at Holton.

The county’s name was changed from Calhoun to Jackson by Golden Silvers, who was the representative in the legislature in 1858. The county officials did not recognize the new name until a year later. In 1858 a vote was taken to choose a new county seat, and Holton received 79 votes over all other contestants. The county voted 51 to 12 for a free-state constitution. The first county courthouse was located in a harness shop.

Before 1859 the schools in the county were carried on chiefly by private subscription. The first school was taught by Miss Harriet Warfield in 1857 in Douglas Township. A log schoolhouse was built the following year, and in 1859 District No. 12 was organized. The first school in Jefferson Township was taught by Mrs. H. S. Hart; in Grant Township by E. S. Hulan; in Liberty Township by Sophia Lattimer; in Straight Creek Township by James B. Hastings; and the first real school house was built south of Holton in 1858 out of logs.

Jackson County, Kansas Courthouse in Holton, Kansas, 1874.

In 1871 the voters adopted a proposition to issue bonds amounting to $160,000 to get the Kansas Central Railroad , and the following year donated the county’s stock to the railroad company. A delay in building the road from Holton to the county’s limits caused the company to forfeit all but $60,000 of the money. This line later became part of the Union Pacific Railroad .

The first courthouse built in the center of the square in 1872 cost $23,000.

In 1910, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad ran from Topeka to Holton, then northeast to Whiting, leaving the county near the northeast corner. The Kansas City Northwestern, a branch of the Missouri Pacific, ran from Valley Falls through Holton and Circleville and north into Nemaha County. Another branch of the Missouri Pacific entered the county from Nemaha and ran through the northeastern part through Netawaka and Whiting. The Topeka & Marysville, a branch of the Union Pacific, was a new road crossing the southwest corner of the county.

In 1910, the county contained 421,120 acres, of which 316,163 were under cultivation. The field crops totaled $2,013,064.78, of which corn amounted to $1,328,664; oats, $210,974, and wheat $24,351.68. The value of all farm products for that year was $3,322,371.63. Hay crops and Irish potatoes were also extensively raised. There were more than a quarter of a million fruit trees, and the county had a high rank as a fruit-growing locality. It was also known for the breeding of thoroughbred stock. One source of wealth was the quarries of white and gray limestone. Brick clay and gypsum were found along the creeks.

In 1910, the county had 90 school districts, over 5,000 persons of school age, and 60 libraries. The population in 1910 was 16,861.

The present courthouse was completed in 1921 for  $300,000.

The Prairie Band Potawatomi Indian Reservation, near the center of the county, comprises about 18.5% of the county’s area.
