Sheridan County is named for Civil War General Phillip H. Sheridan. The Kansas Legislature created the county in 1873. While settlements began in the 1860s, it was not until they experienced an influx of settlers in the late 1870s that led to official organization on June 5, 1880. Kenneth was the county seat until 1886 when the railroad went through Hoxie instead of Kenneth. Kenneth was moved to Hoxie and the county seat became Hoxie. The Union Pacific Railroad’s arrival in the late 1880s caused major economic benefits to the area.

three-day, home-owned carnival which has been volunteer-run for more than 40 years!
