Kansas City, Kan

摘要

The history of Kansas city is a tale of two cities. The Missouri city was established in the 1820s, followed in 1868 by its sister city (known locally as KCK) across the Missouri River. Linked by more than a shared name and bridges, the two form one large metropolitan area. Each city retains its own identity, however. Until recently, KCK was the more industrial one, while the other city got most of the corporate headquarters and entertainment, sports, and cultural venues.
