Chautauqua County, Administrative county in Southeast Kansas, United States.
Chautauqua County encompasses 645 square miles of territory with a combination of agricultural lands and water bodies along the Oklahoma border.
The Kansas legislature established Chautauqua County in 1875 by dividing Howard County, naming it after Edward Jaquins's birthplace in New York.
The county maintains twelve distinct townships, each contributing to the local governance structure and community organization within Southeast Kansas.
Major transportation routes through the county include U.S. Route 166 and Kansas Highway 99, connecting residents to neighboring regions.
From its peak population of 11,000 residents in 1880, the county experienced a gradual decrease to 3,379 people by 2020.
