"Built in 1928, the Meade County Courthouse dominates the little town of Meade. A large well-kept lawn laced with beautiful shade trees lead your eye to the magnificent columns which grace the front entrance. This building was upgraded to meet modern regulations in 1998, allowing the people of Meade County to keep and use this historical building for generations to come." ~ KANSAS SAMPLER FOUNDATION

"Meade County was established on March 20, 1873 from Peketon Territory. The County was abolished in 1883 and reestablished in November 3, 1885 from Ford County, Seward County and Finney County.
