Barber County, Kansas
.Barber County, located in the great state of Kansas, has a rich historical background. Established on February 26, 1867, the county was named in honor of Thomas W. Barber, a dedicated abolitionist who played a significant role in the free-state movement during the controversial Bleeding Kansas era. Barber County is situated in the southern part of Kansas, sharing a border with Oklahoma, and encompasses approximately 1,136 square miles.
The county seat, Medicine Lodge, was established in 1873 and derived its name from the Native American gatherings or "medicine lodges" that were held at a nearby site along the Medicine River. This heritage is still celebrated today with the biennial Peace Treaty Pageant in Medicine Lodge, a major event established in 1927 that reenacts the treaty signing between the United States government and five Native American tribes in 1867.
As settlers moved into this territory, agriculture and cattle ranching became the cornerstones of Barber County's economy. The county's fertile soil and grasslands contributed to its prosperity. Over time, Barber County also became renowned for its Gyp Hills and the beautiful red mesas that provide a scenic backdrop for residents and visitors alike.
Barber County is home to the Kansas Championship Ranch Rodeo, an annual event held in Medicine Lodge that showcases the skills and talents of local cowboys and cowgirls. The event highlights the region's rich ranching heritage and brings together participants from across the state in a celebration of western culture and sportsmanship.
In summary, Barber County, Kansas, has an intriguing historical background connected to the free-state movement, a vibrant cultural heritage tied to Native American and early settler relations, and unique natural attractions.
