EARLY DAYS OF
AUDUBON COUNTY

/
ed Audubou City near his home in
an early day with the hope that
the county scat would be located
there but the attempt proved a
failure.
The town of Extra was plated
in 1857 by ID. M. Harris and David
Edgerton and it became the county
seat in 1861.
In 1866 Nathaniel Hamlin
founded the town of Louisville and
attempted to move the county seat
from Extra to it but failed.
In ~ Hamlin and associates laid
out the town of Hamlin but the
plat was not recorded until the fol-
lowing year. A fierce, hot fight
followed over the effort to remove
the county seat from Extra to
Hamlin.
Petitions for the removal were
circulated to all arts of the county
and circumstances were also circu-
lated by Extra people. The excite
ment was intense and the whole
people were on the war path on one
side OF the other The night be-
fsre the hearing before the super
vlsors messengers of both parties
were running all night soliciting
signatures,
At the hearing it was found that
the petitioners exceeded the names
on the remonstrance and it was
only through technicality that
Extra was able to hold the county
seat. The records did not show
that there was a town of Hamlin
as the plat had not been recorded
and the supervisors refused to
grant the petition, N1essrs. Dodge
and Bowen voting against and Mr..
Noon for submitting the question
to the voters Of the county.
The following year, the plat of
Hamln having been executed and
recorded, another petition was pre-
sented to the supervisors, asking
for an order to have the question
submitted to the voters, which was
granted.
During the campaign a bond was
given by Extra parties to furnish to
the county free Of expense good
and substantial building for the use
OF the county offices of the county,
a room for the holding of the dis
trlct and circuit courts, and the
meeting of the board of superv .sors
upon condition that the county
seat remained at Extra, $4,000 be-
ing pledged for the purpose. The
bond was signed by Charles Van
Gorder, John D Bush, p. |.
Whitfield, A. b. Houston, j. A.
liallock, A. Campbell.
This pledge controlled many
votes in the election which followed
and the proposition to change the
county seat was defeated by a
handsome majority. In 1874 the
Extra Hall company was incorpor-
ated and erected building for a
court house and county offices,
which the county occupied until
1879 when the county seat was re-
moved to Audubon.
In 1878 the Rock Island Rail
road Company built the road from
Atlantic and founded the town of
Audubon In the midst of their land.
Settlers were pouring in. The So
called homesteader movement
called many to the north part of
the county who naturally were in
terested IN Audubon. The railroad
company built the court house be-
fore the election bringing in many
Workmen. Stuart and son en-
ployed many others to build their
elevators and other buildings and
to work on their extensive farms
There were many new faces to be
seen.
At the election there were S4l
votes cast for the removal of the
county seat to Audubon, and $40
against it, and the county records
were Immediately transferred to
Audubon.
