Baxter Springs is a historic city located in Cherokee County in the southeastern corner of Kansas, United States. Founded in the 1850s, the city grew around a spring named after early settler John Baxter.

The town played a significant role during the American Civil War and later became an important stop along the famous Route 66. In the late 19th century, Baxter Springs developed as a prominent cattle trading post on the Texas cattle trails, marking its place in the American frontier history.

The city preserves its heritage through various historic sites and buildings, including structures that reflect its development during the mining era and its connection to Route 66. The local community maintains several museums and historical markers that commemorate the area's rich cultural and historical significance, particularly its role in the Civil War and early American westward expansion.
