Summary
Established in 1887, Perkins County was named after the president of the C.B.&Q. Railroad. After two elections, Grant became the county seat the following year. A modest frame courthouse was built that served the county until 1901, when a former bank was acquired for courthouse purposes and used until 1927. In 1926, however, the county passed a bond issue to help finance a new courthouse. The following year the Classical Revival-style building was completed.
