Didn’t the Missouri side of Kansas City spring up because whoring and drinking and whatnot weren’t allowed in Kansas because of puritans, so the Kansans would cross into Missouri for that?
During this time, other settlements were developing across the river on the Kansas side in Wyandotte County. Some of these small towns incorporated as Kansas City, Kansas, in 1872. By naming this town after the growing city on the Missouri side of the state line, city leaders in Kansas were able to capitalize on the success of Kansas City, Missouri. It’s also possible that the people in Wyandotte County felt that they had more right to the name “Kansas City” than the people of Missouri had.

When your largest city is called the neighbouring state and your name is literally misery
TBF, Kansas city was named first by 4 years. Also, for the most part, Kansas isn’t really any better than Missouri

Kansas and Missouri are equally shit.
