Sorry, they are all wrong. The truth is that this picture is Kansas City, Missouri.

Kansas City has a large and quickly growing hispanic population. It really reminded me to say we have a little Mexico here in the midwest too.

I guess I should have been more specific. I actually meant Kansas City, not State of Kansas.

Since we are now discussing geographical matters, why is it that at least TWO cities in the US that are named after ANOTHER state than the one they're in? I mean, Washington DC is in Maryland, Kansas City in Missouri, and New York City is located in a state called New York, which bears the name of its largest city, but whose capital is Albany???

I remember when in Geography we had to learn the names of all the states and we took some tests over them. I failed every single test, but i wound up with an A in the class. You're not truly an American unless you don't know your own geography and history.

My bitch of a teacher I had for 8th grade history made us learn all of the state names, while the other 8th grade history teachers did not make their kids do that.  At least I never had to remember the capitols, or I would probably still be in high school now.  Other then that, I never had to learn states or capitols.

Washington D.C. is named after the person, not the state.  ;)

Well, yeah, I know that; it's not like Quebec City has been named after the province, either.

It is really funny to hear Arnold Schwarzenegger try to pronounce all of the names of towns and county's in california, since they are all spanish names.

I don't know about the others, but I can explain Kansas City. Back when Lewis and Clark first came through the area where Kansas City is now located,  they named the area the Kanza territory after the Kanza Indians who resided here, and they named the
river the Kanza river, which became the Kansas River. Anyway, as settlers moved into the area, they founded the town of Kansas, but I believe this was before Missouri and Kansas were states. Anyway town of Kansas became Kansas City and the Missouri River and Kansas River were made the official borders between Kansas and Missouri. Around 1869, four towns on the west side of the border combined to form Kansas City, Kansas.

The fact that there are two cities named Kansas City, that are right next to each other has confused many people for years, and those who didn't know better have always assumed Kansas City was in Kansas because Kansas is in the name, and they were half right.

The Kansas City that people talk about is the one in Missouri. It has 450,000 residents, while the Kansas City in Kansas has 150,000 residents.
