Udall, an incorporated city of the third class in Cowley county, is located in Ninnescah township on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R. R., 13 miles northwest of Winfield, the county seat, and about 25 miles from Wichita. It has a mill, a bank, a weekly newspaper (the News), a number of retail establishments, telegraph and express offices, and a money order postoffice with three rural routes. The population in 1910 was 330. A school was established here in 1873 and the postoffice in 1879. The town was laid out in 1882 and several stores were built. One of the startling events of the early history of the town was the killing of Sheriff Shenneman of Cowley county, who was shot by Charles Cobb in Jan., 1883.
