Settler George Green founded the town of Lincoln in 1870, naming it after the county. "Center" was added to its name to indicate its location in the central part of the county. County residents initially voted to place the county seat in Lincoln Center. Elections in November 1870 resulted in the seat relocating to nearby Abram, sparking a county seat war.


Another vote in February 1872 reversed the switch, and Lincoln Center again became the county seat. Residents relocated all the buildings in Abram to Lincoln, merging the two communities. The town was incorporated as the city of Lincoln Center in 1879, and is officially referred to as such in the United States Census.


Both the city government and local chamber of commerce refer to the city as Lincoln, and it appears as such on state maps and signs.Lincoln grew rapidly over the following decade, more than doubling in size, and the city gradually modernized. Kansas Christian College opened in Lincoln in 1885. The Union Pacific Railroad opened a branch line through the city in 1886, bringing mail service.


In 1900, after the previous courthouse burned down, a new one was built out of native limestone known locally as post rock. Rural mail delivery began in 1904, and telephony service began in 1905. In 1906, the city's first power plant opened, providing electric power. Beginning in the 1920s, the mechanization of agriculture reduced the need for farm work and gradually commercial farming operations consolidated family farms resulting in a reduction in the population.


By 1950, the state highway commission had completed K-14 and K-18 through Lincoln. In 1989, given the widespread, long-standing use of post rock limestone in local building construction, the Kansas Legislature named Lincoln County as "The Post Rock Capital of Kansas".
