History

In order to accomplish the town move with the least amount of "Red Tape" the city "Annexed" the "right of way" along US highway 69 between the "old town" and the proposed site for the new community. Although now known by many as "New Pattonsburg", the new community still has ties to the old town. Production artists created 19th century facades for the flooded out business buildings, covered the asphalt streets with tons of dirt imported from Kansas, concealed fire hydrants with oak barrels, and even built a shack over an immovable railroad caboose. This method allowed Pattonsburg to keep the same name and allowed the city to continue operations of its water and sewer treatment plants without forming separate "Districts." Now a virtual "ghost town", the site of the old community still invokes many fond memories. The damage was so bad that the town was relocated three miles away, and was completely redesigned, in order to take advantage of more modern technologies, concerning energy conservation and protection of the environment.
