city, seat of Ford Co., S Kansas, on the Arkansas R.; inc. 1875. It is the market and shipping center of a rich wheat-growing and cattle-raising area. Industries include the manufacture of farm machinery and livestock-handling equipment, and beef processing. Saint Mary of the Plains College (1952) and a junior college are here, as well as Boot Hill Cemetery (in use 1872–78), preserved as a reminder of the community’s turbulent early years, and a reconstruction of Dodge City as it was in 1876. Points of interest include Boot Hill Museum (1947), dedicated to the history of the Old West, and the Home of Stone (1881), established as a historic house in 1965. Founded in 1872 with the arrival of the railroad, the city
is named for both Col. Richard I. Dodge (1827–95), a leading
member of the Dodge City Town Company founders, and for Fort Dodge
(built in 1864; now a veterans’ home), due to its proximity
to the newly formed city. Dodge City soon developed into a major shipping
point for trail herds.
