States Of Modern: Kansas
Recently, my sister and brother-in-law moved to Kansas and are building a house near their daughter so I am planning on visiting soon. I’ve been puzzling over how to represent the state til I learned the geographic center of the contiguous United States is located about 2.6 miles northwest of the center of Lebanon, Kansas, just about 12 miles south of the Kansas-Nebraska border. So I have designed our Kansas block with a shining gold square (representing Kansas) in the center of our block to signify the center of the country.
Some fun Kansas facts…
Capital: Topeka
Admission to Statehood: January 29, 1861 (34th State)
Flag: On a navy blue field is a sunflower, the state flower. Also, the state seal and the words “Kansas”. In the picture of the state seal are thirty-four stars representing the order of statehood. Above the stars is the motto “To the Stars Through Difficulties”. On the seal a sunrise overshadows a farmer plowing a field near his log cabin, a steamboat sailing the Kansas River, a wagon train heading west and Native Americans hunting bison. Flag adopted 1927.
Bird: Western Meadowlark
Flower: Sunflower
Largest Cities: Wichita, Overland Park, Kansas City
