Leavenworth County Directories
1867-1868 North Missouri and Eastern Kansas Business Directory
LEAVENWORTH COUNTY.
This county is situated on the eastern border of the State, touching the
Missouri river at its northeastern corner. It is bounded on the north by
Atchison county, on the east by the river and Wyandotte, on the south by
Johnson and Douglas, and on the west by Jeiierson. It has a length from
north to south of 30 miles, and a width from east to west of 16 miles having the
town of Leavenworth for County Seat, which is situated in its northeastern part.
There is the Leavenworth branch of the U. Pacific R. R. E.
D., and the Leavenworth and Wyandotte railroads, in this county, which
gives it good access to the country. Of streams of water in this county there
are few, and none laid down on the maps. The county has seven townships,
as follows: Alexandria, Delaware, Easton, Fort Leavenworth, Kickapoo,
Leavenworth and Stranger, and also contains the largest city in the State.
The country is of a picturesque and beautiful appearance, being of sufficient
unevenness of outline to be pleasing to the eye.
Alexandria.
This small village is situated in the
west part of Leavenworth county, nine
miles south of west of Leavenworth
City.

Fort Leavenworth.
The reservation, fort and military
post known by this name, commences
immediately as you ascend the Missouri river above the city limits of
Leavenworth City; the arsenal and
barracks, officers' houses and quarters
are some two and one-half or three
miles from the south line of the reservation, they are all neatly and substantially built, some on the sides of
hollow square, ornamented with handsome forest shade trees, and the fronts
of the quarters all faced with collonades. The place has beautiful gravel
and Macdam roads, drives and parades. The location is on a high bluff,
which gives a fine and effective view
in every direction, except toward the
west. Leading to the city of Leavenworth is one of the finest roads anywhere to be found in America �
straight as an arrow, wide and smooth
as a plank surface, it lays before you,
gently descending to the city with
just sufficient undulation to relieve it
of sameness.

Leavenworth.
The city of Leavenworth is but
twelve years from the condition of a
wilderness. We appeal to the evidence following in this article to sustain us in the assertion that for rapidity of growth, magnitude and variety
of business enterprise, religious and
educational institutions � everything,
in short, that goes to make a city � it
is without a rival in the Union.
The manufacturing interests of this
city have been greatly retarded by the
heavy cost of fuel. Wood at eight
dollars a cord can hardly be used to
generate steam for the propulsion of
machinery, and coal has cost until the
present season forty to eighty cents
per bushel. Lexington coal is the
staple. It is of good quality, but the
transportation is so heavy that its use
for general manufacturing purposes
has been found too expensive to permit us to hope to compete with Eastern works.
Kansas is full of coal underneath.
Capital and enterprise are needed to
bring it out. The Leavenworth Coal
Company has made herculean efforts
to develop the coal mines underlaying
our city and the entire country. An
account of their operations may be
found in another column. The statistics presented below show a gratifying view of the manufacturers of
Leavenworth, carried on under the
disadvantages referred to above.
The aggregate manufacturers for the
year will reach the sum of two millions OF dollars.
Commercially Leavenworth stands,
and has long stood, far in advance of
her neighbors and rivals. In manufacturers, our city has also an enviable pre-eminence.
The milling interest of the city, although in its infancy, is already a
highly important one. From the
scarcity of home-produced grain,
there has not heretofore been so extensive a business done in the manufacture of flour at this point as will
follow the settling up of the fertile
prairies of our rich and rapidly developing State.
The business of manufacturing wagons, carriages and other vehicles in
this city is quite extensive, and a source of great profit to the city.
Leavenworth, in advance of all
cities on "the outpost's of man's dominion," is fast becoming the manufacturing centre of the Upper Missouri
country. The true measure of success of any inland town is to be sought
in the variety and extent of its manufactures.
There are five breweries in operation in this city, all of which make a
superior article of "lager," that is
known and in demand throughout the
State.
Leavenworth has, as yet, but one
woolen factory, and that is devoted
mainly to custom work.
The sawing of lumber in Leavenworth is confined to cottonwood, mulberry, walnut and the several varieties of timber growing on the river
bottoms. Framing stuff, and the lumber used for roofing, sidewalks, fencing, and, to some extent, for furniture
and finer work, is produced in abundance. Pine, the great staple, is
brought from Michigan, and commands three to four times as high a
price as the varieties of lumber manufactured here. While the scarcity of
pine in this market has been seriously
felt, the supply of almost every kind
of lumber except it, is abundant, and
furnished at reasonable figures.
The fire department of this city
consists of three independent companies: the "Waterfall," the "Young
Kansas," and the "German Saving
and Protection Company, No. 2."
Besides which there is the Steam Fire
Engine, owned and manned by the
city.
The value of school houses in the
city is $40,000.
A large amount of building has
been done in Leavenworth during the
year 1866.
Leavenworth has from the year of
its settlement maintained a prominent and rapid growth, that has but
few parallels on the continent.
Twelve years ago but a thicket, to-day
our city has a population of twenty-five thousand, and is receiving an accestion of more than five thousand annually. Although building material
at the opening of the present season
was scarce and high, and the wages of
mechanics still ruled at war rates, our
citizens have not been deterred from
investing largely in costly and permanent improvements, as well as in
more moderate and inexpensive structures.
The trade and commerce of Leavenworth has increased over last year,
or any previous year. Diversions of
trade to other points, caused by particular railroad connections, the decline in prices in almost every staple
commodity, the absence of large orders growing out of the demands of
the Government to maintain an immense army on a war footing, and the
absence of speculative transactions,
all combined, have failed to reduce
the aggregate figures of the trade and
commerce of Leavenworth. What is
to be naturally inferred from this fact
is, that we have made a great positive
gain during the year, and that the future of Leavenworth, as the great
commercial centre of the States and
Territories lying west and northwest
of us, is a certainty.
The manufacturing interest of
Leavenworth has doubled its production during the year, and with cheap
fuel, which the enterprise of Leavenworth will secure sooner or later, we
shall build up a manufacturing interest that will support an enormous
population, and be a source of unlimited wealth to our people.
River trade has fully maintained its magnitude, while the several railrailroads have done a business unparalleled on lines established for so short
a time.
The importance of the Pacific road
� now running nearly two hundred
miles west of Leavenworth � to our
trade, cannot be overestimated. This
road brings in almost the entire trade
of the State to the metropolis. The
Leavenworth branch is practically
main line, and is so regarded. Substantial depot buildings have been
erected, and preparations are being
made to accommodate the rapidly increasing business of the road.
The year 1866 has been one of ordinary success in the operations of the
agriculturalists of our State, and we regret inability to furnish the figures our
of the receipts of produce at this city.
We can only say that receipts and
shipments have been larger than ever
before, and that prices have been remunerative to the producer.
