Buxton, a station on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R. R. in Wilson county, is located near the west line, in Duck Creek township, 10 miles southwest of Fredonia, the county seat. It has a money order postoffice. The population in 1910 was 50. This town was established in 1886, at the time the railroad was built. The land was owned by the Arkansas Valley Town and Land company, which laid off the lots. In May, 1887, the Jurett postoffice, which had been established on the claim of H. H. Garner in 1871, was brought to Buxton and took that name. Buxton is credited with being the most important hay shipping station in the county.
