Homesteading in Kingman County
Norwich
Situated on the Osage Indian Lands,
Norwich was founded in 1885. People began arriving to settle in
this new town, and soon a railroad line was built by the Denver,
Memphis and Atlantic Railroad. A hotel, an opera house, and a
bank were among the buildings that were part of the town's landscape.
The ethnicity of its settlers is unknown.
