Known as the "Sunflower State," Kansas became the 34th state in 1861.
The state's name comes from the Kansa or Kaw Indians and is a Sioux
Indian term meaning "south wind people." Within Kansas's borders is
the magnetic center mark for all of North America. All land surveys in
the U.S., Canada, and Mexico use this as a reference point. The
geographic center of the 48 contiguous (connected) states is located
in a Kansas pasture. The native sunflower is the state flower and the
capital is Topeka.
