Why this spot
1886-1926 county seat boom town
Santa Fe was platted in 1886 and served as Haskell County seat from 1887, with a peak population put at 600 to 700 or more. When the courts moved the seat to Sublette on the railroad in 1913, most of the remaining 300 residents left with their houses, and the county declared the townsite abandoned in 1926.View source →
