SEWARD County, in the southern tier, is the third county east from Colorado. It is bounded on the north
by Haskell county; on the east by Meade; on the south by the State of Oklahoma, and on the west by Stevens
county. It was created in 1873 and named in honor of William H. Seward of New York, who was secretary of
state during Lincoln's administration. The boundaries were defined as follows: "Commencing at the intersection
of the east line of range 31 west with the 6th standard parallel; thence south on said range line to the
southern boundary line of the State of Kansas; thence west on said southern boundary line of the State of
Kansas to the east line of range 35 west; thence north on said range line to the 6th standard parallel;
thence east to the place of beginning."
