"In a place called Kansas there are papers that will save us."
  (Original) "Wizard of Oz" movie. (1925) 		 

Kansas is our neighbor to the direct south of us.  The northern border of Kansas is shared by Nebraska.  The Republican River flows out of Nebraska into Kansas where it helps form the Kansas River that joins the Missouri at Kansas City.  Much of Kansa is farmland.  The industrialized centers manufacture many products.

Kansas City

Kansas City is one of those cities that splits across state lines.  Part of Kansas City is on the Missouri side.  Since the Missouri side gets mentioned more, a fuller description is on the Missouri page.

Lawrence

Great college town.  Great professors come from Lawrence.

Liberal

Located in the western half, almost to a division by thirds.  Coronado visited Liberal in his search for the riches of Quivara.*  A museum there displays collected artifacts of the expedition.

Lyons

Lyons is located almost in the exact center.  Liberal is important in Midwestern history due to Coronado's visit to the area.  A museum there displays collected artifacts of the expedition.

Topeka

Topeka is the capitol of Kansas.

Wichita

Wichita is in the middle southern half of the state.  McDonnell-Douglas has a large facility there.  Wichita is the largest city in Kansas.
