Richardson County, one of the counties created by the first territorial legislature in 1855, was given the following boundaries: "Beginning at the southwest corner of Shawnee county; thence west 24 miles; thence north to the main channel of the Kaw or Kansas river; thence down said channel to the northwest corner of Shawnee county; thence south to the place of beginning." The territory included within these boundaries was made a part of Wabaunsee county (q. v.) in 1859.
