COFFEYVILLE , a city of Montgomery county, Kansas, U.S.A., on the
Verdigris
  river, about. 15o m. S. of Topeka and near the
et.
Coffee.
southern boundary of the state. Pop. (1890) 2282; (1900) 4953, of whom 803 were negroes; (19o5) 13,196; (1910) 12,687. Coffeyville is served by the Missouri Pacific, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas
 , and the Saint Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railways, and by inter-urban electric railway to Independence. It is in the Kansas natural-gas field, ships large quantities of
grain

The municipality owns and operates its water-works and electric lighting plant. Coffeyville, named in honour of A. M. Coffey, who was a member of the first legislature of the territory of Kansas, was founded in 1869, but in 1871 it was removed about r m. from its
original
  site, now known as " old town." It was incorporated as a city of the third class in 1872 and received a new charter in 1887. Coffeyville became a station on the Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galveston railway (now part of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe), and for several years large numbers of cattle were driven here from Indian Territory and
Texas
  for shipment; in fact, the city's
chief
  importance was as a
trade
  centre for the north part of Indian Territory until natural gas was found here in large quantities in 1892.
