History

Olathe was founded by Dr. John T. Barton in the spring of 1857. He rode to the center of Johnson County, Kansas, and staked two quarter sections of land as the town site. He later described his ride to friends. "[T]he prairie was covered with verbena and other wild flowers. I kept thinking the land was beautiful and that I should name the town Beautiful."^{[citation needed]} Purportedly, Dr. Barton asked a Shawnee interpreter how to say "Beautiful" in his native language. The interpreter responded, "Olathe."^{[citation needed]} 1857 was a common year starting on Thursday (see link for calendar). ...

Olathe was not the first city established in Johnson County, but it quickly became the largest and was named the county seat in October 1859 [2]. The city's early days were filled with violence, as pro-slavery forces from nearby Missouri often clashed with local abolitionists. These conflicts were known on a large scale as Bleeding Kansas.

As the 1850s came to a close, and as Kansas entered the Union as a free state in 1861, the violence appeared to lessen. However, a year later Confederate guerillas from Missouri led by William Quantrill surprised the residents and raided the city on September 7, 1862, killing a half dozen men, robbing numerous businesses and private homes, and destroying most of the city in the process. Olathe was site to one of Quantrill’s raids because the people of Olathe were known for their staunch abolitionist stance. // Production of steel revolutionized by invention of the Bessemer process Benjamin Silliman fractionates petroleum by distillation for the first time First transatlantic telegraph cable laid First safety elevator installed by Elisha Otis Railroads begin to supplant canals in the United States as a primary means of transporting goods. ...

Olathe served as a stop on the Oregon Trail, the California Trail, and the Santa Fe Trail. Local stores and business were heavily dependent on travelers for their main source of income. The Mahaffie House was a popular resupply point for wagons headed westward. The Mahaffie Farmhouse and Stagecoach stop is a registered historical site, and is maintained by the City of Olathe. Visitors are welcome to participate in the many activities there, including a Civil War re-enactment and the Wild West Days.

The Mahaffie house, locally known as the Mahaffie farmstead, is located in Olathe, Kansas, the center and county seat of affluent Johnson county. ...

After the construction of the transcontinental railroad, the trails to the west lost importance, and Olathe faded into obscurity and remained a small, sleepy prairie town. In the 1950s, with the construction of the Interstate Highway system and, more directly, I-35, Olathe was directly linked to nearby Kansas City. The result was tremendous residential growth as Olathe became a part of the Kansas City metro area. In the 1980s, Olathe experienced tremendous commercial growth, which also contributed to more residential growth. It is estimated that Olathe's population surpassed 100,000 in 2001, and current projections show Olathe's growth to continue as the city expands into the farm fields South, West and North of town.
