KANSAS CITY

In the past 150 years, Kansas City has evolved from a Missouri River steamboat landing and a few hundred acres of platted land into a gleaming metropolitan center. The city’s population has grown from a few hundred traders, trappers, entrepreneurs and Indians to almost 500,000 citizens. Residents enjoy a high quality of life, low unemployment, low cost of living, affordable housing, top quality education, historic landmarks, culture and the arts, and a strong economy. Nationally known companies, such as Ford Motor Company, Hallmark Cards, Inc., Sprint Corporation, At & T, General Motors, Southwestern Bell and UPS, are only a few of Kansas City’s largest employers. MORE
