Hutchinson, Kansas, was named after Caleb S. Hutchinson, a railroad official who played a significant role in the town's development during the arrival of the railroad in the 1870s. The town was established in 1871 and was initially known as "Plum Creek" before being renamed in honor of Hutchinson. The name change helped to attract more settlers and businesses, contributing to the community's growth.
