In this video, we walk through downtown and dive into Cimarron’s Old West roots, from its days as a key stop along the Santa Fe Trail—including the important Cimarron Crossing—to its founding in 1878 and the dramatic county seat war with nearby Ingalls involving legendary lawman Bat Masterson. We also touch on frontier-era train robberies by outlaw Bill Doolin, the arrival of the railroad, and even a modern-day Amtrak Southwest Chief derailment. With a look at local landmarks, population trends, and the tough decisions travelers once faced crossing this region, this video captures the rugged history and small-town character that define life in southwest Kansas.
