Rawlins County, County in Kansas, United States
Rawlins County spans across 1,070 square miles of western Kansas terrain, with Atwood serving as its governmental and administrative center point.
The Kansas Legislature established Rawlins County in 1873, naming it after Civil War General John A. Rawlins, who served as Secretary of War under President Grant.
Immigration patterns shaped distinct communities within the county, with Swedish settlers in Enne, English in Ilion, Hungarians in Herndon, and Germans in Ludell.
The county maintains a network of highways including U.S. Highway 36, Kansas Highway 25, and Kansas Highway 117 connecting local communities and neighboring regions.
The county remained under prohibition status from 1986 to 2002, when residents voted to permit alcohol sales under specific regulations.
