Richardson County was created on August 25, 1855 as an Original County. The County was named for
William P. Richardson, a pro-slavery member of the territorial council in 1855 and 1857.
On February 11, 1859, Richardson County name changed to Wabaunsee County. The County Seat is Alma.
The County was named for the Pottawatomie chief Wah-Bahn-Se.
“Before 1857 there had been a steady emigration of German
families into the county, large numbers of whom settled in Alma
Township. In that and other townships we find the name of
Henry Krupp, Fred Palenske, Henry and J. Terras, E. Hohen-
eck and G. Zwanziger, who built the first mill, which he after-
wards sold to Lorenzo Pauly. Mr. Zwanziger sold part of his
claim to the Alma Town Company, and surveyed it off into
streets, blocks and lots. In Washington Township were located
A. Brasche, Mr. Maxbrink, Adolph Patting and Henry Grimm,
the hero of the Platte Bridge Indian Massacre. Ed Krapp, A.
Hankammer, and John Spiecker settled in Farmer Township.
Henry Schmidt, Wm. Drebing, B. Cline and J. Metzger settled
in Mill Creek Township.
Wabaunsee County was especially favored, settled as it was
principally by New Englanders of good education and high
ideals, and by perhaps the most desirable of foreign emigration
— Germans — whose descendants are to-day among the most in-
fluential, industrious, and prosperous people of the county.”
