Barber County, KSGenWeb Project
Barber County was organized in 1873. The County Seat was set in Medicine
Lodge. The county is nearly in the form of a rectangle, with Kingman County
cutting out a six-mile-square block in the northwest corner. The county is
thirty-three miles north to south and thirty-six from east to west, with a total
area of 1,134 square miles. Named for Thomas W. Barber, a Free State settler in
Douglas County, who was killed by pro-slavery forces near Lawrence on 6 December
1855. Name spelled 'Barbour' until it was changed by the Legislature in
1883.
I am your County Coordinator. I welcome information, corrections and
suggestions for any of the pages about Barber County, Kansas. My name is
Rebecca Maloney and you can

We thank all of our previous County Coordinators for the many hours of work they
have put into this project for the future of genealogy research. Your work
has made finding our family history easier and for that we are grateful!
We offer free genealogy records and information for genealogists seeking their
ancestors and family history. If you have records to share we would love
to include them- just contact me!
