History of Wichita, Kansas : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Wichita, Kansas
The history of Wichita details the history of Wichita, Kansas from its initial settlement in the 1860s to the present-day. ==Prehistory and exploration== The site at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas Rivers has served as a trading center and meeting place for nomadic hunting people for at least 11,000 years.〔(History In Place; American Bungalow magazine; Spring 2009. )〕 Human habitation in the Wichita area has been dated, in archeological digs, as far back as 3,000 B.C.〔(Grove Park Archeological Site )〕 The area was visited by Francisco Vásquez de Coronado in 1541, while he was in search of the fabulous "cities of gold". While there, he encountered a group of Native Americans whom he called Quiviras and who have been identified by archaeological and historical studies as the Wichita. By 1719, these people had moved south to Oklahoma, where they met French traders. The first permanent settlement in Wichita was a collection of grass houses inhabited by the Wichita tribe in 1864. They had moved back to Wichita from Oklahoma during the American Civil War because of their pro-Union sentiments.
