Norton County, KS
County in Northwest KSNorton County was organized in 1872 and the county seat is the city of Norton. Norton County was named in memory of Orloff Norton, Captain of Company L, Fifteenth Kansas Cavalry, killed by guerillas at Cane Hill, Arkansas on October 29, 1865. In 1873 the county was represented by one N. H. Billings, who, in consequence of his peculiarities, became a sort of butt of the Legislature. He was a member of the Senate at the time and had the name of Norton changed to Billings in two lines hidden in a paragraph of a Bill fixing the boundaries of certain counties. The next Legislature restored the name of Norton. More information about the history of Norton County will be added here soon.
