Clements is an unincorporated community in Chase County, Kansas, United States. ==History== For millennia, the land now known as Kansas was inhabited by Native Americans. In 1803, most of modern Kansas was secured by the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase. In 1854, the Kansas Territory was organized, then in 1861 Kansas became the 34th U.S. state. In 1859, Chase County was founded. In 1871, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway built a main line east-west through Clements.〔(Santa Fe Rail History )〕 In 1996, it merged with Burlington Northern Railroad and renamed to the current BNSF Railway. Most locals still refer to this railroad as the "Santa Fe". A post office opened in Silver Creek (an extinct town) in 1862 was moved to Clements, then called Crawfordsville, in 1881. In 1884, it was renamed Clements. The post office was discontinued in 1988.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Kansas Post Offices, 1828-1961 (archived) )〕 In 1887, the Clements Stone Arch Bridge was completed over the Cottonwood River. There have been numerous floods during the history of Clements. In June and July 1951, due to heavy rains, rivers and streams flooded numerous cities in Kansas, including Clements. Many reservoirs and levees were built in Kansas as part of a response to the Great Flood of 1951. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clements, Kansas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
