The Johnston Library is a historic library located at 210 W. 10th St. in Baxter Springs, Kansas.
 The building was constructed in 1872 to serve as a courthouse during Baxter Springs' unsuccessful attempt to become the Cherokee County seat.
 Though Baxter Springs had lost an election to choose the county seat in 1869 to Columbus, supporters of both cities had attempted to fraudulently swing the election in their favor, and Baxter Springs hoped it could still become county seat in the future.
 The building initially served as the county jail and sheriff's office until Columbus completed its jail in 1880.
 After this, Baxter Springs ultimately gave up its attempts to become the county seat, and the building became its city hall.
 In 1905, resident Niles P. Johnston bequeathed $5,000 to the city to start a library, and the city hall building was chosen to house it.
The Gardnerville Branch Jail is a historic jail located at 1440 Courthouse St. in Gardnerville, Nevada.
 The jail was built in 1910 and served as Douglas County's only jail from 1910 to 1915.
 Prior to 1910, the only county jail was in Genoa, the county seat; however, since Gardnerville was several miles from Genoa, it resorted to housing prisoners in the local judge's granary.
 As the granary was considered unfit for holding prisoners, the community petitioned the county to construct a new jail.
 However, local leaders in Minden, who wanted to move the county seat to their town, protested the move, as they suspected that Gardnerville was attempting to claim the county seat itself.
 Nonetheless, the county approved the construction of the new jail.
 The jail housed its first prisoners before construction even finished, as the Genoa jail burned down; one prisoner was briefly chained to a post until the new jail could accommodate him.
 Once completed, the jail served the county until 1915, when Minden became the county seat and opened its own county jail.
The Former Audubon County Courthouse, also known as the Audubon County Historical Society Museum, is a historic building located in Exira, Iowa, United States.
 Court proceedings were first held in a schoolhouse in Hamlin’s Grove after Audubon County was established in 1851.
 The county seat was relocated to Exira ten years later, and a disagreement erupted over where the county seat should be located.
 The county board of supervisors made an appropriation for a new courthouse in 1871, but its construction was delayed due to the disagreement.
 Exira eventually won and officials constructed the courthouse for about $2,200.
 The Exira Hall Company was established to build the two-story, frame structure.
 County offices were located on the first floor and the courtroom was located on the second floor.
 The county seat was moved to Audubon in 1879.

 The primary county seat is Waterloo, moved there from the original county seat of Ovid in 1819.
 It became a two-shire county in 1822, which currently remains in effect, using both locations as county seats although the majority of Seneca County administrative offices are located in Waterloo.
 Therefore, most political sources only list Waterloo as the county seat.
 The county's name is from the Iroquois (Seneca) that occupied part of the region.
The Old Allamakee County Courthouse, located on 2nd Street in Lansing, is a short-lived former county courthouse of Allamakee County, Iowa.
 The courthouse was completed in 1861 amid a fight between Lansing and Waukon over which community deserved to be the county seat.
 Lansing had lost a vote on the county seat to Waukon in 1859, but they won another vote in 1861 after teaming up with the community of Columbus.
 Waukon built its own courthouse in the meantime, but it failed to win back the county seat in yet another vote in 1864.
 The county sheriff, a Waukon resident, attempted to seize the county's records from the Lansing courthouse in 1866; however, a posse from Lansing stopped him before he could return to Waukon.
 The Iowa Supreme Court decided the county seat battle in favor of Waukon the following year; it has remained there since.

The Cerro Gordo County Courthouse is located in Mason City, Iowa, United States.
 When Cerro Gordo County was created in 1855 and Mason City was selected to be the county seat.

 A courthouse was built there.
 A petition signed by over half of the citizens of the county requested that the county seat be moved back to Mason City.
 Mason City also won the election in 1858 to decide the matter 155-48.
 Two courthouses have stood in Mason City prior to the present Modernist structure that was occupied by the county in 1960.
