Crawford County Organized in 1867.  County seat, Girard.  This county was
by an act of the legislature of 1867 created out of the northern half of
Cherokee, which prior to that date reached to Bourbon.  It was named in
honor of Samuel J. Crawford, who was elected governor in 1864, and served
nearly four years. The legislature named the county in obedience to a
resolution passed in convention held to petition for its organization.
Governor Crawford resigned in October, 1868, to become colonel of the
nineteenth Kansas infantry, specially raised for the Indian war of 1868-9.
He was colonel of the second regiment colored volunteer infantry, during
the war for the union.  Ex-Governor Crawford is now state agent at
Washington; his residence is Topeka.
