==History==
===19th century===
The confluence of the [[Whitewater River (Kansas)|Whitewater River]] and the [[Walnut River]] was originally inhabited by [[Osage Nation|Osage people]], who found the land ideal for hunting and fishing.

In 1868, C. N. James settled in the area and built a [[log cabin]] to serve also as a general store and trading post. Around that same time, a post office was established in the settlement, and as the first postmaster, C. N. James named the post office and the town in honor of his wife, Augusta James.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_h3YUAAAAYAAJ | title=History of Butler County Kansas | publisher=Standard Publishing Company | author=Mooney, Vol. P. | year=1916 | pages=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_h3YUAAAAYAAJ/page/n94 95]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kshs.org/geog/geog_postoffices/search/county:BU |title=Kansas Post Offices, 1828-1961 (archived) |publisher=Kansas Historical Society |access-date=5 June 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131009125851/http://www.kshs.org/geog/geog_postoffices/search/county%3ABU |archive-date=October 9, 2013 }}</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/20150121024235/http://www.kake.com/home/headlines/Historic-letters-found-in-Augusta--289221651.html Historic letters found in Augusta; KAKE tv; January 20, 2015.]</ref>

In 1877, the [[Florence, El Dorado, and Walnut Valley Railroad Company]] built a branch line from [[Florence, Kansas|Florence]] to [[El Dorado, Kansas|El Dorado]]. In 1881 it was extended to [[Douglass, Kansas|Douglass]], and later to [[Arkansas City, Kansas|Arkansas City]].<ref>''Marion County Kansas : Past and Present''; Sondra Van Meter; MB Publishing House; [[LCCN]] 72-92041; 344 pages; 1972.</ref> The rail line was leased and operated by the [[Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway]].

===20th century===
The discovery of oil near Augusta in 1914, and soon elsewhere in Butler County, led to the doubling of the population of Augusta between 1910 and 1920.<ref>[The Kingdom of Butler, Jessie Perry Stratford. 1970.  Times Publishing Co., El Dorado, KS, and Intercollegiate Press, Shawnee Mission, Kansas. p. 117.]</ref> Oil drilling and refining became a major source of employment for many years. In 1916, L. L. Marcell founded the White Eagle Oil Company in Augusta. Other early refineries were the Walnut Refining Company and the Lakeside Refinery.<ref>[Stratford, p. 126.]</ref> In 1930, White Eagle was purchased by the Standard Oil Company of New York and was known as "Socony-Vacuum" for many years, then renamed Mobil in 1966.<ref>[Augusta, Kansas: 1868-1990, Allison, Burl Jr. 1993.

===21st century===
In 2010, the [[Keystone Pipeline|Keystone-Cushing Pipeline]] (Phase II) was constructed about 1.5 miles west of Augusta, north to south through [[Butler County, Kansas|Butler County]], with much controversy over tax exemption and environmental concerns (if a leak ever occurs).<ref>[http://www.gpace.org/news/marion-county-commission-calls-out-legislative-leadership-on-pipeline-deal/ Keystone Pipeline - ''Marion County Commission calls out Legislative Leadership on Pipeline Deal''; April 18, 2010.] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111022015437/http://www.gpace.org/news/marion-county-commission-calls-out-legislative-leadership-on-pipeline-deal/ |date=October 22, 2011 }}</ref><ref>[http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2010/dec/10/transcanada-inspecting-keystone-pipeline/ Keystone Pipeline - ''TransCanada inspecting pipeline''; December 10, 2010.]</ref>
