Founded largely by Russian Mennonite immigrants, Halstead was incorporated in 1877 and named in honor of journalist Murat Halstead. With the hard red winter wheat (Turkey Red) they brought from Russia, the Mennonites established Halstead as a farming community, and built the Bernard Warkentin Mill at the confluence of the Little Arkansas River and Black Kettle Creek. A famous meeting between the frontiersman Kit Carson and the Native American Chief Black Kettle had taken place some years earlier at this same confluence. Dr. Arthur Hertzler—the “horse-and-buggy doctor”, devoted much of his life and energies to the medical environment of Halstead, founding a clinic and hospital for the area residents.
