History from Kansas State Historical

Deighton; Thomas Hahn; Joshua Wheatcroft;
John Schiereck; and
William Walker. The county was named
for James H. Lane and contains the town of
Dighton. The town of Dighton was
named for Richard Deighton, the
surveyor who came in 1878 with four
homesteaders claiming the four quarters
that
constituted Dighton.
