Tipton, a thriving little town of Mitchell county, is located in Pittsburg township, 21 miles southwest of Beloit, the county seat, and 14 miles south of Cawker City, the nearest shipping point. All the general lines of business are represented, including banking. It has a money order postoffice with one rural route. The population in 1910 was 200. The town was founded in 1872 by Fred Sackoff, W. A. Pitt and J. F. Steinberg, and was at first called Pittsburg. Many of the early buildings, some of which are still standing, were of stone. In the early '80s the name was changed from Pittsburg to Tipton, on account of the Pittsburg in Crawford county.
