History
Horton was founded in 1886. It was named for Albert H. Horton, chief justice of the Kansas Supreme Court.
On January 22, 2013, the host of CNBC television show The Profit toured Horton in hopes of revitalizing Horton’s downtown business district. Within 18 months, the community started the “Reinvent Horton” campaign to clean up the community and update “run-down” aspects of it, including the installation of curbs, sidewalks, and light poles, razed some buildings, and a large community effort to try to change Horton.
