HISTORY

The Cowboy statue, erected in 1927 outside of the Boot Hill Distillery

A portion of the original Front Street

The Santa Fe Trail opened in 1821 by William Becknell, became a great commercial route between Franklin, Missouri, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, until 1880. Thousands of wagons traveled the Mountain Branch of the trail that went west from Dodge City along the north bank of the Arkansas River into Colorado. For those willing to risk the dangers of waterless sandhills, a shorter route called the “Cimarron Cutoff ” crossed the river near Dodge City and went southwest to the Cimarron River.

Fort Dodge was established in 1865 on the Santa Fe Trail, midway between two major Indian crossings on the Arkansas River. It was an important outpost on the western frontier; offering protection to wagon trains and serving as a supply base for troops engaged in the Native American wars. Kiowa, Cheyenne and other Plains tribes inhabited the area, and wild game was abundant including vast herds of buffalo.

Dodge City was founded in 1872, just five miles west of Fort Dodge on the edge of the military reservation. It quickly became a trade center for travelers and buffalo hunters. The same year, the railroad reached Dodge City, assuring its continued existence and making it a major shipping point.

An estimated 850,000 buffalo hides were shipped from Dodge City in the years 1872 to 1874.

By 1875, the buffalo were gone as a source of revenue, but the Longhorn cattle of Texas soon took their place. From 1875 to 1886, over 5,000,000 cattle were driven up the Western Trail from Texas to Dodge City. Cowboys from the cattle drives had more than a little influence in establishing Dodge City’s reputation as the wildest town on the western frontier. Such notable lawmen as Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp became legends in their own time as they fought to bring law and order to the streets of Dodge City.

During those first years, the population varied according to the season, swelling during the summer with the influx of cowboys, buyers, gamblers, and prostitutes. Business, dance halls, and saloons catered to the Texas trade.

The town thrived and its populace of buffalo hunters, railroad workers, soldiers, and drifters “settled their differences” in shoot-outs. Lawlessness reigned, creating the need for a burial place, Boot Hill Cemetery.

For six years Dodge had no official cemetery. Those who had friends, enough money, or sufficient standing in the community were buried in the post cemetery at Fort Dodge. Others, penniless or unknown, were buried where it was convenient to dig a hole. Boot Hill Cemetery, now a part of downtown Dodge City, is the most famous burial ground in all western lore, even though it was only used until 1878.

Fort Dodge was closed in 1882, and by 1886, the cattle drives had ended.

An illustrious period of history was over, but the legend lives on in Dodge City’s historic preservation of its romantic and internationally famous past.
