| Title | Historical Sketch of Kansas City from the Beginning to 1909 |
| Notes | 1839: In the report of his explorations of 1673, Marquette first mentions the Kansas tribe of Indians as being 'on the Missouri, beyond the Missouris and Osages,' and from that tribe the Kansas river derived its name. The name of tribe and river were both spelled and pronounced in very different ways by the explorers, but Kansas City was originally so named to perpetuate both, and was first platted as the 'Town of Kansas' in 1839. |
