Spanish explorer Francisco de Coronado, in 1541, is considered the first European to have traveled this
region. Sieur de la Salle's extensive land claims for France (1682) included present-day Kansas. Ceded to
Spain by France in 1763, the territory reverted to France in 1800 and was sold to the U.S. as part of the
Louisiana Purchase in 1803.

Lewis and Clark, Zebulon Pike, and Stephen H. Long explored the region between 1803 and 1819. The
first permanent white settlements in Kansas were outposts—Fort Leavenworth (1827), Fort Scott (1842),
and Fort Riley (1853)—established to protect travelers along the Santa Fe and Oregon Trails.

Just before the Civil War, the conflict between the pro- and anti-slavery forces earned the region the grim
title of Bleeding Kansas.

Today, wheat fields, oil-well derricks, herds of cattle, and grain-storage elevators are chief features of the
Kansas landscape. A leading wheat-growing state, Kansas also raises corn, sorghum, oats, barley,
soybeans, and potatoes. Kansas stands high in petroleum production and mines zinc, coal, salt, and lead.
It is also the nation's leading producer of helium.

Wichita is one of the nation's leading aircraft-manufacturing centers, ranking first in production of private
aircraft. Kansas City is an important transportation, milling, and meat-packing center.

Points of interest include the Kansas History Center at Topeka, the Eisenhower boyhood home and the
Eisenhower Memorial Museum and Presidential Library at Abilene, John Brown's cabin at Osawatomie, re-
created Front Street in Dodge City, Fort Larned (an important military post on the Santa Fe Trail), Fort
Leavenworth, and Fort Riley. Information from http://www.infoplease.com
