History

Watson arrived at the town site, and a post office was established. Lane County became a county in 1886, with Dighton as its county seat. Drawn west by the promise of free, fertile land, pioneer settlers arrived in Kansas starting in 1869. Life was difficult for the early pioneers, who built houses made of sod and found that the land was quite dry, and not as fertile as they had been led to believe. The population was 1,261 at the 2000 United States Census census.
