The History of Haysville

W.W. Hays came to this area in the early 1870s. Prior to his arrival, he had served as a postmaster in Colorado and as Sheriff of Sedgwick County. In 1891 he platted the land that he owned so a town could be built.

Some of the first businesses in this new town were a meat market, a couple of stores, lumberyard and a blacksmith. The post office was established in 1877, the Haysville State Bank in 1919. Truck farming supported a lot of the families in the area. In 1874 a grist mill was built on the bank of the Cowskin to process corn that was harvested in the area.

The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway bought land west of Haysville's Main Street in 1892. In 1903 a depot was opened and passenger trains shuttled people to and from Wichita. Haysville was often spelled Hayesville thought to be named after 19^th president Rutherford B. Hayes.

At first there were no church buildings so meetings were held at homes, schools and the grist mill. The first churches in town were the Methodist and the Prairie Home Christian Church. Mr. Hays donated the land where both of these churches were built.

All of Haysville's historic district was destroyed in the 1999 tornado. Destruction of the historic buildings began at the red brick schoolhouse at 79^th and Seneca and continued north along Main taking out the elevator, bank, churches and more. The only thing left standing on the east side of Main was the original bank vault.
