 | | Humboldt, Kansas, is the birthplace of Walter P. Johnson, "The Big Train," baseball pioneer and one of the original five Hall of Fame inductees along with Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb. |
 | | In 1861, the U.S. Land Office was moved to Humboldt from Ft. Scott, and Humboldt became more prosperous than most of the Kansas towns as visitors flooded in to register their lands. |
 | | Humboldt did rebuild and, after the war, progressed rapidly, especially with the arrival of both the M.K.& T. and the L.L.& G. Railroads. |
