SCOTT COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

COUNTY OF SCOTT
SCOTT CITY, KS
On this web site you will find links to various places that may provide you with information on your ancestors
who may have lived in Scott County.  We will add more links as they become available.  


Scott County was organized by the state legislature in January 1886, thirteen years after the boundaries were defined
and the county was surveyed.  Scott City, the county seat, is located in the center of the county.  
Some of the early towns were Pence City, Painter City, Zenobia and Arcola.  Modoc, Manning, Grigston,
and Shallow Water are towns still located in the county.

The Scott County Historical Society was originally formed in January 12, 1931.  It was reformed in May of 2001
and the content of this page is in part possible, because of their hard work and dedication to preserving
not only their own family histories, but also providing Scott County historical information to those who desire it.

The following are some places in Scott County where you can obtain information on your descendants
who lived here at any one time.

Our society meets 7 pm the 2nd Thursday each month.
We are a non-profit organization and welcome visitors.  



     Help us preserve family histories of Scott County.  If you have family records you do not want,
      consider donating them to Scott County Genealogical Society. County  history books are wonderful!
      Are there old yearbooks, pictures, church or social group memories that you no longer want?    
      Instead of throwing out items from an estate, please remember our society.
      Your descendants will be grateful to find your name in the records you donated!

   Our society has been performing a long-term service for our county. We have been recording all burial stones
in Scott County. If you know of a burial outside of a cemetery, please let us know!  Thank you.
  We would appreciate an email, at your convenience.
