About Kansas City
Kansas City, Kansas, faces its Missouri namesake across the state line, a river-junction city of Wyandot history, rail yards and immigrant neighbourhoods.
Kansas City, Kansas, is the seat of Wyandotte County, on the bluffs above the meeting of the Kansas and Missouri rivers, and is a separate and smaller city than its Missouri namesake. The Wyandot people, who came from Ohio in the 1840s, helped found the town, and Huron Cemetery, a small burial ground in the middle of downtown, is one of their lasting marks. The ruins of Quindaro, a free-state river port of the 1850s, lie on the bluffs to the north.
