History

The Anthony townsite was laid out in 1878. The city was named after the 7th governor of Kansas, George T. Anthony who was in office at the time. Following the reorganization of Harper County in 1878 following the original fraudulent organization in 1873, Anthony was designated the temporary county seat, as Bluff City, designated county seat of the fraudulent county organization, did not exist at the time. In 1879, a county seat election was held, and Anthony won over Harper City even though 2,960 ballots were cast with 800 legal voters in the county.

Anthony existed at the intersection of the St. Louis-San Francisco Railroad and the Missouri Pacific Railway since at least 1891. Three additional railroads came through town by 1912: the Choctaw Northern Railroad (by then owned by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad), the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railroad and the Kansas Southwestern Railway (the latter two becoming part of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. However, rail abandonments began around 1986, leaving Anthony without any rail service by 2000.
