COMMUNITY:
Dodge
City is a
pure definition of the West, one of the most historic western cities in the
nation… a gateway to history that began with the opening of the Sana Fe Trail by
William Becknell in 1821. The name Dodge City is
synonymous with some of the most notorious lawmen in western history, and by
1872, Dodge City
was home to Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and the Masterson brothers. Each year,
more than 100,000 guests relive the west by visiting the Boot Hill Museum, the Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame and
historic downtown.
Dodge
City is a
progressive community of approximately 28,000 population. In 1997, a ‘Why Not
Dodge’ sales tax initiative resulted in the construction of a racetrack,
Legends
Park baseball/softball
complex, Soccer Complex, and United Wireless Arena/Magouirk Conference Center.
Dodge City is now recognized as the entertainment
capital of Southwest
Kansas.
Dodge
City has
so much to choose from – from our famous sunsets to our historical past and
progressive future. So what are you waiting for…Get the Heck into
Dodge!
