The Hopewell and Mississippian cultures, and later the Kansa, Osage, Otoe and Missouri, lived where the Kansas River meets the Missouri. The first documented European visitor was the French officer Etienne de Veniard, Sieur de Bourgmont, who had deserted his post at Detroit. His descriptions of 1713 and 1714 gave the first record of the names of the rivers and were used for the area's first accurate map. Lewis and Clark camped at the river junction in June 1804 and again in September 1806, and Clark called it "a Commanding Situation" for a fort.
In 1821 Francois Chouteau of the St. Louis fur-trading family set up a post known as Chouteau's Landing, the first permanent settlement on the site. Mormons led by Joseph Smith settled in the area in 1831 and built its first school, but mob violence drove them out in 1833. That year John Calvin McCoy founded West Port on the Santa Fe, Oregon and California trails, and in 1834 he opened Westport Landing on the river. After the death of the trapper Gabriel Prudhomme, 14 investors bought his 257-acre riverfront tract at auction on November 14, 1838, for $4,220. Lots went on sale in 1846. The landing was incorporated as the town of Kansas, named for the Kansa people, in June 1850, and reincorporated as the City of Kansas in 1853. Wikipedia gives two sets of dates: June 1, 1850, and March 28, 1853, in its summary, but June 3, 1850, and February 22, 1853, in its history section. William Samuel Gregory was the first elected mayor, and the city took the name Kansas City in 1889. Sources Wikipedia: Kansas City, Missouri
