Common Questions:
When did Kansas get found; when did people start moving in?

A: 1. January 29, 1861 is when Kansas was founded.
2. Settlement between 1830 and 1890 included thousands of American Indian tribes who were moved to the area from the East and Great Lakes. But to answer the question : After Kansas Territory was opened to settlement in 1854, people of European ancestry chose to move to the region, increasing in numbers in 1861.

Why is Topeka the capital of Kansas?
In 1861, before the civil war, Kansas entered the union as a free state. Due to its strategic location along the Kansas River and potential for economic growth, Topeka was named the capital city.
What is the population of Kansas; Is it improving or declining; are more people moving here?
The population of Kansas in 2020 was 2,913,805, which is a 0.04% increase from 2019.But According to many sites as of 2019, more people are leaving Kansas than moving, and apparently Kansas is the sixth on a list of "most-moved-from states,".

Ok! Now since the questions are answered before we move on to the things Kansas has to offer; let’s settle the pronunciation of Arkansas and Kansas for a quick second.
