Lawrence Annexation Rate Slows From 1954-56 Pace
Lawrence annexation in 1957 shows continued growth with more than 400 acres added last year, bringing total city area to about 7 square miles. The expansion distribution is uneven around the border, with notable growth near North Lawrence along U.S. Highway 40 and Kendal Turnpike. The city now covers roughly 4,400 acres, stretching about four miles north to south and nearly as far east to west. Past trends show bursts of rapid growth in the 1940s and 1950s, with World War II-era gains easing into postwar expansion.
