Sedgwick County was created April 9th, 1889 from the northeastern corner of Logan County. It was named for General John Sedgwick. The route of the Leavenworth and Pikes Peak Express, the first regular stagecoach service to be established leading to the Colorado gold camps, entered the state in what is now Sedgwick County. One of the stations on this route was Julesburg, named in honor of Jules Beni, a French fur trader. For about 6 months in 1867, Julesburg was the western terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad (and had quite a reputation as a wide-open, rip-roaring, wild-west town). The present town of Julesburg was laid out July 2, 1884 by the Union Pacific Railroad Company and incorporated in 1886.
