Kansas is derived from the Siouan Kansa or Kaw, meaning "people of
the south wind," who lived south of the settlements of the northern
Great Plains. It was granted statehood in 1861, becoming the 34th
state in the US. Kansas is located equidistant from the Pacific and
the Atlantic Ocean. The geographic center of Northamerica is located
in Osborne County. This spot is used as the central reference point
for all maps produced by the government. Kansas leads the states in
wheat production. In early summer, the vast wheat fields on the
state's prairies look like golden seas of grain. One of Kansas' most
famous towns is Dodge City, the Cowboy Capital of the World.
