The two larger marshes were one of the twelve wetlands sold to provide funding for Emporia State Teachers College. Historically, the area was considered a "salty”, shallow, marshy area. In dry seasons salt could be found, and a large amount of wildlife would come to the area in the wet season. The area marshes attracted Native Americans, early settlers and were important to migrating herds of bison, flocks of waterfowl and other wildlife. Local residents constructed dams on the lower ends of both large marshes in the early 20th century to provide a more reliable water supply for recreation.〔 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「Jamestown Wildlife Area」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
