Fremont County, one of the early counties of Kansas territory, was created in 1859, with the following boundaries "Commencing at the southwest corner of Broderick county and running thence due west to the western boundary of the Territory of Kansas thence northeasterly along the summit of the Rocky mountains, to the southwest corner of Montana county, thence due east to a point 20 miles west of the 105th meridian of longitude, thence due south to the point of beginning." T. C. Dixon, A. G. Patrick and T. L. Whitney were appointed commissioners and authorized to locate the seat of justice near the geographical center of the county. When the Territory of Colorado was erected, Fremont county became a part of the new territory.
