Phillips, a Free-State journalist and Union Army colonel during the Civil War. The area was long used by nomadic Plains tribes before French and later Spanish claims to the region under the mid-18th-century Treaty of Fontainebleau, decades before American settlement. The county remained dry under local prohibition ordinances into the 1990s, a detail still recalled locally, before those restrictions were lifted in 1996.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>U.S. Route 36 runs east-west through the county via Phillipsburg; U.S. Route 183 runs north-south through the same city.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Norton, Kansas &mdash; 30 miles west<\/li>\n<li>Smith Center, Kansas &mdash; 30 miles east<\/li>\n<li>Stockton, Kansas &mdash; 30 miles south<\/li>\n<li>Hastings, Nebraska &mdash; 65 miles northeast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The nearest commercial airport is Hastings Municipal Airport in Nebraska; Eisenhower National Airport in Salina and Wichita&#8217;s Dwight D.
