History

Englewood was founded in 1884 ^{[4] [5]} as a stop for cattle drives along the Texas Trail on the way to Dodge City. ^[6] It was named after the Chicago neighbourhood of Englewood, Illinois. ^[7] The first post office in Englewood was established in 1885. ^{[8] [9]} The Panic of 1893 caused failure of farms and the agricultural economy of the region, which did not recover until a local rancher donated land to the town in 1906. Two years later, much of the new business district was destroyed by fire. ^[6]
