Sabetha’s Name
1001 Main. How did the only city in the world named Sabetha come to have that name? A plaque on the north side of a building shares the theory that a Greek scholar-turned-gold-seeker was in this area when one of his two oxen died on the Sabbath. Unable to go farther, he pitched a tent, performed last rites for his faithful ox, and named the site Sabetha in honor of the day his ox died.
