Historical Photos of Kansas Houses and Buildings in the Late 1940s

Kansas is a state in the Midwest of the United States. It is the 15th-largest state by area and is the 34th most populous of the 50 states. It shares borders with Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Colorado. Kansas’s capital is Topeka, and its largest city is Wichita. Kansas was named after the Kansas River, which was named after the Kansa Indians who lived near its banks. Thousands of years ago, the area was populated by numerous and diverse Native American tribes. Most tribes in the eastern part of the state lived in villages along rivers. West of the state were semi-nomadic tribes that hunted large herds of bison.
