City has a spirit that demands participation! A cosmopolitan mix of
people - few of them cowboys - dwell in this bi-state city that truly
offers something for everyone. Art and recreation activities flow from
the blue jeans variety to black tie affairs. It offers more fountains
than Rome and more boulevards than Paris.
This city exudes pride in its State Ballet, Nelson Museum, Lyric Opera,
Symphony Orchestra, Theater League, Starlight Theater, Worlds of Fun
Amusement Park, world renowned American Royal, and Country Club Plaza
shopping, not to mention the most beautiful professional sports complex
in the United States. An invigorating mix of the Northern work ethic
and Southern hospitality blend to create a city that cares - a city
with a spirit.

Kansas City is situated near, but not in, "Tornado Alley," a broad
region where cold air from the Rocky Mountains and Canada collides with
warm air from the Gulf of Mexico, leading to the formation of powerful
storms. The most recent tornado to strike Kansas City itself was in May
2003. The region is also prone to ice storms, such as the 2002 ice
storm during which hundreds of thousands lost power for days and (in
some cases) weeks. The MoKan area was subject to flooding, including
the Great Flood of 1993 and the Great Flood of 1951.

became the first battlefield in the conflict over slavery and southern
secession that led to the American Civil War. The first city election
was held October 22, 1872, 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 have been James Boyle, C.
A. Eidemiller, A. S. Orbison, Eli Teed and Samuel McConnell. John
Sheehan was appointed Marshal in 1875, by Mayor Eli Teed. He was also
Chief of Police, having a force of five men. In June, 1880, the
Governor of Kansas proclaimed the city of Kansas City a city of the
second class with the Mayor Samuel McConnell present. James E. Porter
