Ford County Directories 1889 Southwestern Business Directory, Dodge City
DODGE CITY, Ford County.
A town of 3,000 inhabitants, on the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, and Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska Railway (St Joseph and Iowa Railroad Co lessees),
353 miles from the Missouri River. An incorporated company have built an irrigating ditch 96 miles in length, which
waters a large area of land that has produced satisfactory results to the farmer, while the agricultural interest in the
county of Ford is increasing (which will be a banner county
in the near future). The cattle men are improving their vast
herds, which are still numerous. The Arkansas River flows
through the city, dividing the two railroads. Dodge City is
blessed with schools, churches, societies, banks and fire department (which is a credit to any city), and splendid Water
Works.
