History of Gladstone
Gladstone was started in 1882 by a group of settlers from Ripon, Wisconsin. The group's leader was James Gray Campbell. About 150 pioneers joined him to build the new city.
The city was named after William Ewart Gladstone, who was the Prime Minister of Great Britain at the time. The settlers used natural resources they found nearby. This included coal from underground, clay for making bricks, and special sand called agate sand. This sand was useful for railroad companies. The settlers also raised strong horses.
