| Kansas State and Visitor Information |

| The state is named for the Kansa tribe of Native Americans who lived
along the Kansas (or Kaw) River. Kansa is a Siouan word meaning "wind
people." Because wild sunflowers grow profusely in the state, Kansas is nicknamed the
Sunflower State. If you’re looking for new and exciting vacation
adventures, then Kansas is the place you want to be. History buffs can explore the
state’s legendary cowboy towns or visit Kansas’ countless museums, which
celebrate the state’s pioneer, aviation, farming and Native American legacies.
Outdoor enthusiasts will be happy to know that Kansas is still home on the range to the
American bison, which can be viewed up close at two of the state’s wildlife refuges
and along the highways in Western Kansas and the Flint Hills. And for nature lovers,
Kansas is home to the largest remaining stand of tallgrass prairie in North America,
providing a glimpse of what the continent looked like 200 years ago. |
