Included are the names of numerous colonies including those located in this area primarily in Wyandotte County. These local colonies include Juniper Town located at the mouth of the Kaw or Kansas River, Rattlebone Hollow and Hogg's Town. The heaviest year for immigration in this area appears to be 1879.
