The town of Stilwell was named after Arthur E. Stilwell, the first superintendent of the KC Southern Railroad. The town was formed in 1897 and has been the county seat since 1910.
   


 

Stilwell is also near the geographical center of the county and first appeared on the map in 1895, about the time the railroad builders reached that point, although a post office by the name of Flint, a general store
and a few houses had been in existence in that neighborhood for many years.
