History
The city was named after William L. Sublette, who took the first wagons along the route (Oregon Trail) to the Rocky Mountains. In 1912 the AT&SF built a line from Dodge City to Elkhart. The new line missed the town of Santa Fe, Haskell County's first county seat, by seven miles. Sublette and Satanta were soon thriving along the new line and an election was held in 1913 to select a new county seat. This was the first county election in which all Kansas women were eligible to vote. The county seat was moved to Sublette in 1920 after another hotly contested election.
