This partial list of city nicknames in Kansas compiles the aliases, sobriquets and slogans that cities in Kansas are known by (or have been known by historically), officially and unofficially, to municipal governments, local people, outsiders or their tourism boards or chambers of commerce. City nicknames can help in establishing a civic identity, helping outsiders recognize a community or attracting people to a community because of its nickname; promote civic pride; and build community unity.〔Muench, David ("Wisconsin Community Slogans: Their Use and Local Impacts" ), December 1993, accessed April 10, 2007.〕 Nicknames and slogans that successfully create a new community "ideology or myth"〔 are also believed to have economic value.〔 Their economic value is difficult to measure,〔 but there are anecdotal reports of cities that have achieved substantial economic benefits by "branding" themselves by adopting new slogans.〔Alfredo Andia, (Branding the Generic City :) ), MU.DOT magazine, September 10, 2007〕 Some unofficial nicknames are positive, while others are derisive. The unofficial nicknames listed here have been in use for a long time or have gained wide currency. *Andover - Where the People are Warm Even When the Weather Isn't〔(Tagline Guru City Branding Survey ), Tagline Guru website, accessed August 18, 2009〕 *Baxter Springs - First cowtown in Kansas.〔(Baxter Springs Museum ) Retrieved 2008-02-21.〕 *Beattie - Milo Capital of the World〔(Claims to Fame - Agriculture ), Epodunk, accessed April 16, 2007.〕 *Cassoday - Prairie Chicken Capital of the World.〔(Claims to Fame - Birds ), Epodunk, accessed April 16, 2007.〕 *Cawker City - Home of the World's Largest Ball of Twine〔(Claims to Fame - Braggadocio ), Epodunk, accessed April 16, 2007.〕 *Dodge City * *Queen of the Cowtowns.〔(Ford County Historical Society - Dodge City )〕 * *The Wickedest Little City in America〔(U.S. City Monikers ), Tagline Guru website, accessed January 5, 2008〕 *Garden City - Cutting Horse Capital.〔(Claims to Fame - Animals ), Epodunk, accessed April 16, 2007.〕 *Girard - Printing Capital of the Nation.〔(Claims to Fame - Business ), Epodunk, accessed April 16, 2007.〕 *Haysville - Peach Capital of Kansas.〔 *Jennings - Czech Us Out.〔(Claims to Fame - Ethnic Groups ), Epodunk, accessed April 16, 2007.〕 *Kansas City * * KCK〔(Kansas City Chamber of Commerce )〕 * * Heart of America〔http://got.net/~landauer/lists/CityOf.html (cf., "Kansas City, Kansas : Heart of America")〕 *Kirwin - Goose Capital.〔 *La Crosse - Barbed Wire Capital of the World.〔(Claims to Fame - Favorites ), Epodunk, accessed April 16, 2007.〕 *Lansing - City With a Future〔(City of Lansing, Kansas - Community Profile )〕 *Lawrence - River City〔(Lawrence-Journal World: River City Chronicles )〕 *Lenexa - Spinach Capital.〔 *Leoti - Pinto Bean Capital.〔 *Liberal - The Land of Oz〔 *Lindsborg - Little Sweden〔(Little Sweden: A Local Legacy ) America's Story website, The Library of Congress (accessed January 25, 2008)〕 *Manhattan - The Little Apple.〔〔〔(Manhattan Convention & Visitors Bureau )〕 * Marion * *Rhino Capital of Kansas〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Marion )〕 * *Town Between Two Lakes〔 *Marysville - Black Squirrel Capital.〔 *Norton - Pheasant Capital of Kansas.〔 *Olathe - Cowboy Boot Capital.〔(Claims to Fame - Clothing ), Epodunk, accessed April 16, 2007.〕 *Parsons - Purple Martin Capital.〔 *Pittsburg - Fried Chicken Capital.〔(Claims to Fame - Food ), Epodunk, accessed April 16, 2007.〕〔( The World Capital of Whatever ), ''The New York Times'' by Harold Faber, September 12, 1993.〕 *Quinter - Half Mile High City.〔(Claims to Fame - Activities ), Epodunk, accessed April 10, 2008.〕 *Topeka - Top City *Russell Springs - Cow Chip Capital of Kansas.〔 *Wellington - Wheat Capital of the World.〔 *Wichita * *Air Capital of the World.〔 * *The Emerald City〔 *Wilson - Czech Capital of Kansas〔 *Windom - Covered Dish Capital of the World.〔 ==See also== * List of cities in Kansas *List of city nicknames in the United States 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「List of city nicknames in Kansas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
