Kansas City (commonly known as KCK) is the third-most populous city in the U.S. state of Kansas and the county seat of Wyandotte County.[1] It is an inner suburb of the older and more populous Kansas City, Missouri, after which it is named.[6][7][8] As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 156,607,[3][4] making it one of four principal cities in the Kansas City metropolitan area.[9] It is situated at Kaw Point, the junction of the Missouri and Kansas rivers. It is part of a consolidated city-county government known as the "Unified Government". It is the location of the University of Kansas Medical Center and Kansas City Kansas Community College.

التاريخ

In October 1872, "old" Kansas City, Kansas, was incorporated. The first city election was held on October 22 of that year by order of Judge Hiram Stevens of the Tenth Judicial District and resulted in the election of Mayor James Boyle. The mayors of the city after its organization were James Boyle, C. A. Eidemiller, A. S. Orbison, Eli Teed, and Samuel McConnell. In June 1880, the Governor of Kansas, John St. John, proclaimed the city of Kansas City a city of the second class with Mayor McConnell present.

In March 1886, "new" Kansas City, Kansas, was formed through the consolidation of five municipalities: "old" Kansas City, Armstrong, Armourdale, Riverview, and Wyandotte. The oldest city of the group was Wyandotte, which was formed in 1857 by Wyandot Native Americans and Methodist missionaries.[10]:370, 384, 388

In the 1890s, the city saw an explosive growth in population as a streetcar suburb of Kansas City, Missouri. This growth continued until the 1930s. It was one of the nation's 100 largest cities for many U.S. Census counts, from 1890 to 1960, including 1920, when it had a population of over 100,000 residents for the first time.[11]

As with adjacent Kansas City, Missouri, the percentage of the city's most populous ethnic group, non-Hispanic whites, has declined from 76.3% in 1970 to 40.2% in 2010.[12][13] In 1997, voters approved a proposition to unify the city and county governments, creating the Unified Government of Wyandotte County.[14]

الجغرافيا

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 128.38 ميل مربع (332.50 km2), of which, 124.81 ميل مربع (323.26 km2) is land and 3.57 ميل مربع (9.25 km2) is water.[15]

Climate

Kansas City lies in the Midwestern United States, as well as near the geographic center of the country, at the confluence of the longest river in the country, the Missouri River, and the Kansas River (also known as the Kaw River). The city lies in the humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa) zone, with four distinct seasons and moderate precipitation, and is part of USDA plant hardiness zone 6.[16] Being located in the center of North America, far removed from a significant body of water, there is significant potential for extremes of hot and cold swings in temperature throughout the year. Unless otherwise stated, normal figures below are based on data from 1981 to 2010 at Downtown Airport. The warmest month of the year is July, with a 24-hour average temperature of 81.0 °F (27.2 °C). The summer months are hot but can get very hot and moderately humid, with moist air riding up from the Gulf of Mexico. High temperatures surpass 100 °F (38 °C) on 5.6 days of the year and 90 °F (32 °C) on 47 days.[17][18] The coldest month of the year is January, with an average temperature of 31.0 °F (−0.6 °C). Winters are cold, with 22 days where the high is at or below the freezing mark and 2.5 nights with a low at or below 0 °F (−18 °C).[17] The official record maximum temperature is 113 °F (45 °C), set on August 14, 1936, at Downtown Airport, while the official record minimum temperature is −23 °F (−31 °C), set on December 22 and 23, 1989.[17] Normal seasonal snowfall is 13.4 بوصات (34 cm) at Downtown Airport and 18.8 in (48 cm) at Kansas City International Airport. The average window for freezing temperatures is October 31 to April 4, while for measurable (0.1 in أو 0.25 cm) snowfall, it is November 27 to March 16 as measured at Kansas City International Airport. Precipitation, both in frequency and total accumulation, shows a marked uptick in late spring and summer.

Kansas City is situated on the edge of the "Tornado Alley", a broad region where cold air from the Rocky Mountains in Canada collides with warm air from the Gulf of Mexico, leading to the formation of powerful storms, especially during the spring. A few areas of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area have had some severe outbreaks of tornadoes at different points in the past, including the Ruskin Heights tornado in 1957,[19] the May 2003 tornado outbreak sequence, and the Tornado Outbreak Sequence of May 2019. The region can also fall victim to sporadic ice storms during the winter months, such as the 2002 ice storm during which hundreds of thousands lost power for days and (in some cases) weeks.[20] Kansas City and its outlying areas are also subject to flooding, including the Great Flood of 1951 and the Great Flood of 1993. قالب:Kansas City weatherbox

فضيحة گولوبسكي

Retired KCK police detective Roger Golubski had been accused of sexual assault, protecting organized crime, and obtaining convictions on falsified evidence and coerced perjury.

Lamonte McIntire was exonerated and released in October 2017 after 23 years in prison for a double murder.[47] His mother claimed Golubski tried to force her into a sexual relationship. When she refused, Golubski framed her son. Detectives working the case refused to collect basic evidence. Former KCK Police Chief Terry Ziegler and other supervisors knew about this.[48]

On September 15, 2022, Golubski was indicted by a federal grand jury in Topeka, Kansas,[49] and arrested on six counts of sexual assault under color of law.[50] Another three-count federal indictment was unsealed November 14, almost two months later: Golubski and three other men—Cecil Brooks, LeMark Roberson, and Richard Robinson—were charged with conspiring, decades ago, to keep young women as sex slaves.[51] At the time of this indictment, Brooks was in a federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas; the locations of the others were unavailable.[52]

Golubski did not face trial for the federal case regarding the alleged abuse and assault of women. He failed to show up to the beginning of his trial on December 2, 2024 and was found dead at his home, the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.[53]

In 1889, the Wyandotte County Museum and Historical Society was established as a permanent repository of the county's history.[59] The Argentine Carnegie Library, the only Carnegie library that exists in the metropolitan area, was built in 1917.[60] The library has moved the collections and staff from Argentine to the new South Branch, at 3104 Strong Ave., a few blocks to the west and north, which opened September 26, 2012. The library has turned over the building to the Kansas City, Kansas, USD 500.[61]

Sports

Sporting Kansas City

The Major League Soccer franchise Sporting Kansas City (which was originally known as the Kansas City Wiz for its inaugural year in 1996 and the Kansas City Wizards from 1997 to 2010) currently plays its home games at Children's Mercy Park in the Village West district. The team originally planned to move to Trails Stadium, a planned stadium facility in Kansas City, Missouri, in 2011, but the project was scuttled in 2009. The developer of the planned venue moved the project to the Village West area, near Legends Field, and received the needed approvals in January 2010.

Kansas City Current

The Kansas City Current replaced the now defunct National Women's Soccer League team FC Kansas City, which ceased operations in 2017. The Current played its inaugural season at Legends Field before moving for the 2022 season to Children's Mercy Park.[82] The team's ownership committed to building a soccer specific stadium across the state line in Kansas City, Missouri, on the Berkley Riverfront Park,[83][84] which broke ground on October 6, 2022, with a goal to open by March 2024.[85]

Kansas City Monarchs

The Kansas City Monarchs is an independent baseball team in the American Association, which moved to Kansas City, Kansas, in 2003 and, through 2019, played its home games at Legends Field, located adjacent to the Village West development in western Wyandotte County. The team was previously a member of the Northern League (which was not affiliated with Major League Baseball), until it dissolved following the 2010 season. While the remaining Northern League teams became members of the North American League as part of the Northern League's merger with the Golden Baseball League and United Baseball League, the T-Bones joined many other former Northern League teams in the relatively new American Association of Independent Professional Baseball. The T-Bones won the Northern League Championship in 2008 and the American Association Championship in 2018. The Unified Government evicted it from its stadium on October 14, 2019, for nonpayment of rent and utilities.[86]

Auto racing

The Kansas Speedway is an auto racetrack adjacent to the Village West area in western Wyandotte County. The speedway, which is used for races that are part of the NASCAR Cup Series and other racing series, is a 1.5 ميل (2.4 km) tri-oval with turns which bank at a 15° angle. The track held its first race on June 2, 2001, when the Winston West Series contested the Kansas 100. The top-level NASCAR Cup Series holds the annual Hollywood Casino 400 at the track. The IndyCar Series previously ran the RoadRunner Turbo Indy 300 from 2001 to 2010, with IndyCar driver Scott Dixon setting the overall lap record for all series.
