Mitchell County Namesake
Mitchell County, Kansas, the heart of the Solomon Valley (the river basin of the Solomon River), is situated in the north central part of the state. Settled after the Civil War, the county gained official status by the State of Kansas in 1871. The county name was given in honor of Capt. William D. Mitchell, who enlisted in the Union army as a private soldier in the second Kansas cavalry. After being promoted to the rank of captain, he was killed at Monroe’s cross-roads, N. C., in 1865.
