Kansas City area was first explored by Spanish Explorer Francisco Vazquez de Coronado in 1541, later by French Fur Trader Etienne de Veniard and mapped by Guillaume Delisle around 1714 . Kansas City became part of Spain in 1763 , until 1803 when Lewis and Clark classified the area as a Military Asset, the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers . Kansas City was a key stop in the Santa Fe, Sacramento - California and Oregon Trails. In my opinion, that European Settlers with wagons and cattle could traverse the USA , from Atlantic to Pacific, first by the Spanish in the South in the 1500 's, and then by French, English, Irish, German, Swedish, Dutch , Italians, etc. in the North , is amazing, considering the geography, simply heroic, anyone that has travel by car there will attest to that . Tough as titanium nails, in my opinion.
