Harper County, County in Kansas, United States
Harper County stretches across 803 square miles of land in southern Kansas, with Anthony serving as the county seat and largest population center.
The county experienced an unusual beginning in 1873 when three individuals attempted to establish a fictitious city called Bluff City as the county seat.
The Glenn and Robinson families initiated permanent settlements in 1877, establishing agricultural traditions that continue through present-day farming operations.
The county government operates from the courthouse in Anthony, providing essential services including public health, environmental management, and human resources.
After maintaining prohibition status for many years following Kansas state changes, Harper County voters approved alcohol sales in 2006.
