Buckner was established in 1875. In its inception Buckner was a railroad depot town for the newly built Wyandotte, Kansas City and Northwestern Railroad. In 1879, the line was purchased by the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Where Buckner derives its name from is a point of contention. It was likely named for Walker Buckner, who was a board member of the WKCNW Railroad that founded the town. Others suggest it was named after former US Senator Alexander Buckner (1830-1833) who served on the States Constitutional Convention in 1820, or named after Real Estate operator Simon Buckner. Yet another claim as namesake is Thomas W. Buckner, an original owner of the site.
