Kansas is the 15th most extensive and the 34th most populous of the 50 United States. Today, Kansas is one of the most productive agricultural states, producing high yields of corn, wheat, sorghum, and sunflowers. Wagon ruts from the trail are still visible in the prairie today. The Santa Fe Trail traversed Kansas from 1821 to 1880, transporting manufactured goods from Missouri and silver and furs from Santa Fe, New Mexico. When the Louisiana Purchase was completed in 1803, Southwest Kansas was still a part of Spain, Mexico and the Republic of Texas until the conclusion of the Mexican-American War in 1848. The state of Kansas has a fascinating history as the ancestral homeland of numerous native American tribes. © 2022 Securities offered through Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.The state of Kansas – The geographic center of the 48 contiguous U.S. Salt Creek Wealth Advisors is not a registered broker/dealer and is independent of Raymond James Financial Services.
