History

Ottawa County was formed in 1860 and organized in 1866.[3] A post office was opened in Ada in 1872, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1998.[4]

In 1888, a rail line of the Chicago, Kansas and Western Railroad opened from Manchester, Kansas in the east to Barnard in the west, a 43 mi (69 km) line, with a depot in Ada. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway acquired this railroad in 1901.[5] An application was filed in 1983 to abandon this "Minneapolis District" line.[6]
