Stanton, one of the oldest towns in Miami county, is located on the Marais des Cygnes river, about 7 miles northwest of Osawatomie, near the western boundary of the county. It was founded in the summer of 1855 and a postoffice was established in 1856, a Mr. Ward being appointed postmaster. He opened a store the same year and in 1857 a steam sawmill was erected. During the border war it was an important village, but as no railroad ever reached it the town has never grown. It has rural delivery from Osawatomie. In 1910 Stanton had a population of 160.
