Maize, Kansas
Maize is a city in Sedgwick County, Kansas, United States, and a suburb of Wichita. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 3,420.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=DEC_10_PL_GCTPL2.ST13&prodType=table )〕 Maize, derived from a Native American word for "corn", was so named because it is located within the Corn Belt.
==History==
The Maize Town Company, led by N. F. Neiderlander, founded Maize in 1886 at the first stop outside of Wichita on the Wichita and Colorado Railway. The post office opened that same year as did the town's first church, having relocated from nearby. Maize's first school opened in 1887; its first newspaper opened in 1895. Maize State Bank, the town's first financial institution, opened in 1901, and, by 1908, a business community had emerged. In 1915, the Maize Town Company dissolved, and Maize was incorporated as a city.
Several natural disasters struck Maize in the 1930s and 1940s, including the Dust Bowl in 1934-35, a plague of grasshoppers in 1936, and a flood in 1944.〔
Maize began to grow rapidly in 1950, more than doubling in size by 1956.〔 This growth has continued, accelerating in recent years as Wichita has expanded to the northwest, and transformed Maize into a suburb.〔
