Wichita Destiny and Rise as Western Metropolis
A 1885 Wichita era column argues the city’s location and rail connections foreshadow a grand future. It credits strategic timing for growth, cites competing railroads from Chicago St Louis and Kansas City, and notes a federal building and local honors influenced by Congressman Peters. The piece praises Wichita’s foundation, population expansion, and leadership, asserting the city stands as the typical western metropolis on the brink of becoming a major center.
