Wichita's position on the Chisholm Trail made it a destination for cattle drives heading north to access railroads to eastern Flag [11] [12] markets. Seal Nickname(s): The Air Capital Of The World, ICT, From the early to late 20th century, aircraft pioneers Dub-K such as Clyde Cessna, "Matty" Laird, Lloyd Stearman Walter Beech, Al Mooney and Bill Lear began aircraft-manufacturing enterprises that would lead to Wichita becoming the nation's leading city in numbers of aircraft produced, and its nicknaming as the Air Capital of the World.

An area cultural center, Wichita is home to Intrust Bank Arena as well as numerous nightclubs, restaurants, shopping centers, museums and parks. Several universities are in Wichita, the largest being Wichita State University with an enrollment of 15,000 students. In July 2006, CNN/Money and Money magazine ranked Wichita 9th on its list of the 10 best U.S. big cities in which to live.[20] In 2008, MSN Real Estate ranked Wichita 1st on its list of most affordable cities.[21] Wichita was also named most "Uniquely American" city by Newsmax Magazine.[22] Contents 1 History 1.1 Prehistory and exploration 1.2 Pioneer Traders & Boosters 1.3 "The Air Capital of the World" 1.4 Entrepreneurial hub 2 Geography 2.1 Climate 2.2 Neighborhoods 3 Demographics 3.1 2010 census 3.2 Demographic history 3.3 Metropolitan area 4 Economy 4.1 Aircraft Manufacturing 5 Government 6 Culture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wichita,_Kansas Pagina 2 van 29 Wichita, Kansas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 23-05-13 16:42 6.1 Events 6.2 Points of interest 6.3 Sports 6.4 In popular culture and the arts 7 Media 8 Education 8.1 Primary and secondary education 8.2 Colleges and universities 8.3 Libraries 9 Transportation 9.1 Highway 9.2 Mass Transit 9.3 Walkability 9.4 Air 9.5 Rail 10 Notable people 11 Sister cities 12 Gallery 13 See also 14 References 15 Further reading 16 External links History Prehistory and exploration The site at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas Rivers has served as a trading center and meeting place for nomadic hunting people for at least 11,000 years.[23] Human habitation in the Wichita area has been dated, in archeological digs, as far back as 3,000 B.C.[24] The area was visited by Francisco Vásquez de Coronado in 1541, while he was in search of the fabulous "cities of gold". While there, he encountered a group of Indians whom he called Quiviras and who have been identified by Downtown Wichita viewed from the west archaeological and historical studies as Wichita Indians. By bank of the Arkansas River 1719, these people had moved south to Oklahoma, where they met French traders. Pioneer Traders & Boosters The first permanent settlement in Wichita was a collection of grass houses inhabited by the Wichita Indians in 1863. They had moved back to Wichita from Oklahoma during the American Civil War because of their pro-Union sentiments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wichita,_Kansas Pagina 3 van 29 Wichita, Kansas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 23-05-13 16:42 Pioneer trader Jesse Chisholm -- half-white, half-Native American, illterate but speaking multiple Indian languages -- established a trading post at the site in the 1860s, and traded cattle and goods with the Wichita Indians at points south along a trail from Wichita into present-day Oklahoma (and eventually into Texas) that became known as the Chisholm Trail, soon legendary in Western lore.[12] Chisholm was soon exclipsed in the area by three astute businessmen: commercial buffalo hunters and traders Jamres R. Mead (of Iowa), William Greiffenstein (a German immigrant merchant), and Buffalo Bill Mathewson (not to be confused with Buffalo Bill Cody); these men led the initial commercial development of the area, becoming key landowners of what became the city of Wichita.[12] Hunters, farmers and Indians in the area all turned to the newborn tiny settlement as a principal trading center for the area, while Wichita's entrepreneurs began an aggressive sales campaign to lure more settlers (their future customers and tenants) to the area, with the "boosterism" typical of successful early prairie settlements. The city, on the east bank of the Arkansas river, was officially incorporated in 1870.[25] Among the signatories on the town charter was a lone woman, the town laundry operator, Catherine "The Widow" McCarty, whose elder teenage son, after leaving Wichita, would become the infamous, short-lived gunman,Billy the Kid.[12] Wichita's position on the Chisholm Trail made it a destination for cattle drives headed north to access railroads to eastern markets. As a result, Wichita became a railhead destination for cattle drives from Texas and other south-western points, from whence it has derived its nickname "Cowtown." Wichita's neighboring town on the opposite (west) bank of the Arkansas river, Delano, a village of saloons and brothels, had a particular reputation for lawlessness, largely accommodating the rough, visiting cattlemen. The Wichita/Delano community gained a wild reputation, however, the east (Wichita) side of the river was kept more civil, thanks to numerous well-known lawmen who passed through, employed to help keep the rowdy cowboys in line. Among those was Wyatt Earp.[12][11] Following the incorporation of the city in 1870, rapid immigration resulted in a land boom involving speculation into the late 1880s. Wichita annexed neighboring Delano in 1880. By 1890, Wichita had become the third largest city in the state (behind Kansas City and Topeka), with a population of nearly 24,000. After the boom the city suffered from 15 years of comparative depression and slow growth. An island in the middle of the Arkansas River, named Ackerman Island, was home to an amusement park and a dance pavilion. The island was connected to the West Bank of the river through a Work Projects Administration (WPA) project in the 1930s. Wichita reached national fame in 1900 when Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) member Carrie Nation decided to carry her crusade against alcohol to Wichita.

  • Wichita's Wee Wooden Wonders
    Wichita's Wee Wooden Wonders http://www.wingsoverkansas.com/history/article.asp?id=895 How Culver & Mooney Became Wichita Airplanes Copyright 2003, 2008 by Richard Harris Originally published in InFlightUSA, 2003 Revised for WingsOverKansas.com, 2008 This is the first in our series "Wichita's Wee Wooden Wonders", about the Wichita roots of Culver and Mooney Aircraft Companies, tracing the career of their creator, Al Mooney. Kansas's most famous general aviation plane-makers of today are Cessna, Beech (now Hawker-Beechcraft) and Learjet (now a division of Bombardier). But there is another legendary general aviation airplane manufacturer -- still very much alive today -- that started in Wichita, as well: Mooney Aircraft. In fact, the Mooney company started in Wichita twice -- and, in between, its namesake founder brought another remarkable planemaker to Wichita: Culver, who would quietly build a thousand tiny military planes in secret, and over a hundred civilian planes as well. And all the Wichita Culvers and Mooneys -- extraordinary performers Albert W. Mooney for their size and power, and powerful trend-setters -- would be made of (image courtesy of wood. This is the story of the pioneering genius behind them, and how MooneyMite.com) his remarkable craft came to be "Wichita's Wee Wooden Wonders." And along the way, many other Kansas aviation names come into play, in shaping a legendary career. As a boy, young Al Mooney, on his own, studied aircraft engineering by burrowing into the books of the Denver Public Library. Raised by a Rocky Mountain railroad bridge-builder, and having spent time building such things with his own hands, big, husky Al had an ingrained fascination with engineering -- and airplanes were the most fascinating engineering puzzle of the times.

  • Countherhistory Barbara Joan Zeitz, M.A. July 2014 an Olive Beech: She
    CountHerhistory Barbara Joan Zeitz, M.A. July 2014 An Olive Beech: She was a pioneer businesswoman, one of the very first females in American history to lead a major corporation. In the 1970s, Fortune magazine called her one of the ten highest-ranking women executives in major American corporations. In a small Kansas city back in the 1920s, she received her education in home study and night school. After studying at the American Secretarial and Business College in Wichita, she spent four years working in an office as general manager/bookkeeper. She was a woman in business in a businessman’s world. She was Olive Ann Mellor. In 1924, she took a position as bookkeeper-secretary at Travel Air Manufacturing Company in Wichita owned by Walter H. Beech. She quickly advanced to officer manager, became the virtual finance department, and secretary to Mr. Beech. At Travel Air she learned aircraft manufacturing as well as the business of air-travel operations. In the those days, aircraft production was a new and a risky financial venture. Her business and financial acumen were a perfect compliment to Walter’s talents for design and production. By 1929 Travel Air was the world's largest commercial aircraft manufacturer. That same year the stock market crashed. Faced with dwindling sales, Walter merged Air Travel with Curtiss-Wright Corporation, a large aviation conglomerate. He served as president and ran the Wichita and St. Louis plants. When the Wichita plant had to be closed, he became vice-president of sales and needed to move to New York. The year was 1930.
