Hoxie

“Come visit for a week – and then stay a lifetime!”

Hoxie is the present county seat of Sheridan County. Named for a Missouri Pacific Railroad official by that name. Hoxie was developed in 1886, because the Missouri Pacific Railroad expected to build east and west through the central part of the county along the river. Properties were moved to the new town from Kenneth, which was the original county seat in 1879. Hoxie invites you to come share in the community.

Sheridan County has 11,286 acres of walk-in hunting.
