Home to 388,000 people, Wichita is the largest city in the state of Kansas and the 50th largest city in the United States. It is also the fastest-growing major city in the nation. It all started as a trading post on the Chisholm Trail in the 1860’s and soon developed into a hub of aircraft production. Talk about a makeover! The first swept-wing jet bomber made in the United States - the Boeing B-47 - was built here in 1952. This city has also given us the “knork” (a fork with a rigid knife on the left side), the standout running back Barry Sanders, and the ‘Doughnut Whole.’ Wichita gave us so much to be thankful for.
Often referred to as The Air Capital, aviation is Wichita’s backbone industry. The city's top employers are Cessna Aircraft Co., Spirit AeroSystems, Hawker Beechcraft, Unified School District, Via Christi Health System, State of Kansas and City of Wichita.
Located on the Great Plains, Wichita is wide-open for thunderstorms, tornadoes, and other extreme weather activities. Here in Wichita, January is the coldest, July is the hottest, and June is the wettest month of the year.
