facts about Stafford County, and further down on the page
you will find links to other web sites that contain more
in-depth information about the county.
The boundary lines of Stafford County were defined by the Legislature of 1870, and for several years the county remained unorganized. The Legislature of 1875, with the intention of obliterating the county from the map, partitioned the territory embraced in Stafford County and added portions of it to Pawnee and Barton Counties. This left a strip six miles wide and twelve miles long as Stafford County. On April 25, 1987 the Supreme Court declared the act of the Legislature unconstitutional, and the county was resotred to its original boundaries.
On July 14, 1879, temporary officers took oath of office for Stafford County. Meeting in a room of a St. John Hotel they elected a chairman and ordered a special election to be held on August 18, 1879 to elect county officers and to select a permanent county seat.
