Facts about the city

  • Some of the notable people born here have been: Joe Don Rooney (guitarist and singer).

Baxter Springs is a city in Cherokee County, Kansas located along the Spring River. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 4,238. It is the most populous city of Cherokee County.From an early trading post, the city grew dramatically with the expansion of cattle ranching in the West and was the first "cow town" in Kansas following the Civil War. its population grew dramatically into the early 1870s in association with the cattle drives. After railroads were constructed into Texas, cattle drives no longer were made to Baxter Springs and other points along the trail, and the towns declined.The city later had some economic success in the early twentieth century associated with lead mining in the area. The city protected its land, and owners and operators chose Baxter Springs for their residences and business offices. In 1926 the city's downtown main street was designated as part of the transcontinental U.S. Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. By the 1940s, the high-quality lead had mostly been mined, and the industry declined. Some towns nearby disappeared altogether. Environmental restoration to correct damage left by mining has been underway for some time.

History

The population was 4,602 at the United States Census, 2000 census, and it was estimated to be }} in the year . Around 1868 there was a great demand for beef in the North. The town organized the Stockyards and Drovers Association to buy and sell cattle. When Texas established railroads later in the century, cattlemen did not need Baxter Springs, and the town had to struggle to find a new economy. It is the most populous city of Cherokee County.

Expansion of cattle ranching led to the growth of Baxter Springs as the first cow town in Kansas.
