Nortonville is located in extreme northern Jefferson County near the junction of U.S. 59 and K-4.  It was surveyed in 1873 and was on the original segment of the A.T. & S.F. between Atchison and Topeka.   Today it's a bustling little town with several interesting buildings and churches. The street system is unusual because many of the streets were built aligned with the railroad while others were built on the north-south, east-west system.  A park downtown offers nice picnic opportunities.   There's a new (2000) city hall/library building showing more evidence of local pride and vitality.     Notes Nortonville is home to the Jefferson County North elementary and middle school. Genealogical Information for Jefferson County is available on Blue Skyways. Nortonville is mentioned in the 1883 Cutler's History of Kansas. Historical images of Nortonville from the Special Collections at WSU's Ablah Library are available online. Nortonville appears on a county map in the 1877-78 Biennial Report of the State Board of Agriculture.
