Harvey County, County in central Kansas, United States
Harvey County spans 541 square miles of Kansas prairie land, with the Little Arkansas River flowing through its agricultural territories.
The county formed in 1872 after Newton representatives left a Sedgwick County political convention, leading to legislative approval for a separate jurisdiction.
The arrival of Mennonite farmers from Russia in 1874 transformed the agricultural landscape by introducing Turkey Red winter wheat to Kansas soil.
Newton, the county seat, connects the region through major transportation routes including the Santa Fe Railroad and highways US81 and US50.
The county territory witnessed the movement of massive cattle herds along the Chisholm Trail, with Newton serving as a principal railhead from 1871 to 1873.
