Atchison County Directories
1889 Southwestern Business Directory
ATCHISON,
ATCHISON COUNTY. The county seat, is situated on the
Missouri River in the northeastern part of the State, between
the Missouri cities of St. Joseph and Kansas City; is the
eastern terminus of the great Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe thoroughfare, and has a population of eighteen to twenty
thousand. Its site is in the form of an amphitheater, though
not lying on the river bottoms proper. Its topography is
greatly diversified, and the numerous hills abound in quarries
of blue limestone. The city is reputed to be healthy and
clean. It was founded in 1854 by a town company, one of
whose members was the now well-known Dr. Stringfellow.
The first newspaper was the Squatter Sovereign, which
appeared in 1855. The first railroad, what is now the
Kansas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs, was built in
1860. Work on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
commenced in 1871. Atchison is very favorably situated as a
commercial city, being the converging point of an extensive
railroad system, and located on a navigable river. It is a
great grain market, and has elevator facilities for handling a
large quantity of grain. With all great grain centers, it is
also a large flour producer, and has numerous extensive
flour mills. The city has also stock-yards, and a
pork-packing establishment which does an immense business. All
other industries are well represented, especially
manufactories, which produce such articles as canned fruit, flax,
spice, crackers. cigars, harness and saddles, barrels, linseed
oil, furniture, carriages, machinery, iron work, etc. The
hotels are numerous and elegant. Six newspapers are pub
lished in the city, three of which issue daily editions.
Atchison is well-known to be a great railroad center, the
following lines either terminating or passing through the
city; the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, that
modern wonder of the railroad world, of which Atchison is
a terminal point, Central Branch Union Pacific, Atchison
and Nebraska, Missouri Pacific, Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific, Hannibal and St. Joseph, Kansas City, St. Joseph
and Council Bluff's, and Burlington and Missouri River
Railroads. A Union Depot, the largest and finest in Kansas--a
Gothic structure, heated by steam and possessing all the
appointments of buildings of its class--has been built to
accommodate the large passenger traffic.
There are many public enterprises well sustained, among them
a system of water works and a line of street railway. The river
is spanned at this place by a handsome bridge. Not only
is Atchison a lively business mart, but it is socially attractive
its churches form a very prominent feature. It has a library,
four large public school buildings, and three higher institutions
of learning, viz.: St. Benedict's College, the Atchison Institute,
and St. Scholastica�s Academy. Distance from Topeka, fifty
miles; from Pueblo, 619 miles; from Santa Fe, 853 miles.
