In 1945 (after World War II), the School Reorganization Act in Kansas caused the consolidation of thousands of rural school districts in Kansas.[3]

In 1963, the School Unification Act in Kansas caused the further consolidatation of thousands of tiny school districts into hundreds of larger Unified School Districts.[4]

Washington County USD 108 was formed in 2006 by the consolidation of North Central USD 221 and Washington USD 222.[5]
