The Kansas area was originally occupied by many tribes of Plains Indians, such as the Kansa, the Wichita, and the Pawnee. The name Kansas means “People of the South wind,” from the Siouan Indian word “Kansa.” The Spanish explored the territory in 1601, but the area was eventually settled by pioneers traveling to the west and those fleeing slavery in the 1800’s. Kansas was annexed to the United States in 1803 as an unorganized territory in the Louisiana Purchase. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 established the territory borders and Kansas entered statehood as the 34th states in January 1861. Originally part of “The Great American Desert,” advances in farming have made Kansas an agricultural leader.
