In the census returns for 1860, Breckenridge County, reported with a population of 3,197, became Lyon in 1862. Dorn became Neosho June 3, 1861. Godfrey became Seward June 3, 1861; later it became Howard, and the population of 1870 and 1875 is returned in its name; March 11, 1875, the county was divided in its center, east and west; the new county north became Elk, the one south was Chautauqua, and they both appear in the census returns of 1880 and 1882. Hunter became Cowley after the census of 1860 was taken. Lykins became Miami June 3, 1861. Madison was divided in 1862, the north part went into Lyon, changed from Breckenridge, the south part to Greenwood. McGee, in the Government census returns spelled McGhee, became Cherokee February 28, 1868. Otoe County was created by the territorial Legislature of 1860, on the 27th of February, and it embraced Townships 21, 22, 23 and the north two-thirds of 24, in Ranges 1, 2, 3 and 4, east of the Sixth Principal Meridian. The county was never organized, and its territory is in the present limits of Marion Butler and Harvey Counties. (The population of what was Arapahoe County, classed as Pike's Peake, was returned at 34,242, but it was placed 34,277, in the government census returns for Colorado Territory.) With the counties as at present constituted, in 1860, the census was taken in 40 counties; in 1870, in 65; in 1880, in 104. Rawlins County was organized May 25, 1881, and by the Act of the Legislature of 1881, Buffalo was blotted out, and the name of Foote was changed to Gray. That part of Buffalo that was in Townships 20 and 21, became the south part of Lane; that part of it that was in Townships 22 and 23, became the north part of the county of Gray. St. John County was created from the east part of Wallace, taking from its Ranges 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 west. There were 105 counties in Kansas when the census was taken in 1880; there were 80 organized counties; in 1870 there were 54 organized counties; in 1860 there were 32.
