Newton

Newton lies along Sand Creek on the central Kansas plains, where broad agricultural country extends beyond a compact county-seat downtown. The arrival of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in 1871 quickly made Newton a cattle-shipping town, bringing the busy trade of the post-Civil War plains to a new settlement. The city remains the seat of Harvey County, and the 1887 Warkentin House recalls the influence of Mennonite entrepreneur Bernhard Warkentin on local life.
