Notes

  1. ^ The first building erected in the original town was a one-room log hut that served the pioneers who settled there as a fort during troubled times between them and the area's Indians. Clifton and Fort Clifton ended up occupying several locations.[5] In 1860 Clifton was moved just to the north and ended up just inside Washington County, Kansas. A number of log cabins were built there by the settlers, so they could take refuge there during Indian uprisings. In 1861 and 1862 school was held in one of the cabins.[6]
