Population Breakdown

History
Haskell County was organized in 1887 and
was originally named "Arapahoe" for a tribe of high plains Indians.
After it was organized, it was renamed for Dudley C Haskell. The Santa
Fe Trail crosses Haskell County from the northeast corner to the southwest
side. This trail was from St. Louis, Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The city of Satanta was named for a Kiowa
Indian Chief, Satanta. The city of Sublette was named for a fur trapper,
William Sublette.

Medical Resources
Haskell County has two doctors. Satanta
has a 12-bed hospital and a connecting 35 bed nursing home. A new medical
center capable of accommodating three doctors was completed in April 1978.
Sublette has a medical clinic, but no hospital. Both cities have volunteer
ambulance and fire departments.
|
Natural Resources
Haskell County has over 400 farms, over
1,000 irrigation wells, 300 oil wells, and 975 producing gas wells. It
is situated over the Hugoton gas field, which supplies gas from Colorado
to the Great lakes. There are 8 commercial cattle feedlots, averaging
over 15,000 head each. The county's soil is ideal for farming. The principal
crops grown are wheat, corn, feed grain, and alfalfa.

|
Civic Resources
The city of Sublette is the County Seat.
It has a new one-level courthouse that was built in the spring of 1978
and remodeled in the winter of 1997.
The city of Satanta is one of the few cities
in the United States that has a producing gas and oil well. This enabled
the city to finance civic projects such as an airport and the city library.
