Kansas Dodge City
Dodge City, Kansas, was founded in 1872 as a supply point for buffalo hunters and became a gateway for the cattle drives from Texas, earning its “Cowboy Capital” and “Queen of the Cowtowns” nickname. It was known for its wild and lawless frontier atmosphere, immortalized in Western lore, where lawmen like Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson worked to control the chaos of its saloons, gambling halls, and gunfights. After the decline of the buffalo and cattle industries, Dodge City transitioned into a farming and ranching center, which later developed a tourism industry focused on its historic Wild West past.
