The Rock Island Railroad was a great aid to the city's growth when it came through and Goodland was made a division point. In 1886, there were four towns vieing to become the county seat for Sherman County. . The towns were Itasca, Voltaire, Sherman Center and Eustis. In 1887, a man came to the area proposing to create a new town for the county seat to settle the dispute. He named the new town Goodland. When a vote was held, Goodland was the winner. The people of Eustis protested that the vote was not fair, but the state department, in charge of elections, refused to intervene. The Kansas Supreme Court considered the case, but did not change the voting results. Eustis still did not agree and held on to the county records until early in 1888 when an armed group seized them and took them back to Goodland.
