History of Gladstone
Gladstone was officially planned out in 1886. This happened when a railway line, the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska Railway, was built through the area. When a town is "platted," it means its streets, blocks, and lots are drawn on a map.
The community was named after William Ewart Gladstone. He was a very important person in history. William Ewart Gladstone served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The Prime Minister is the main leader of the government in the United Kingdom.
