Quick History Facts
In 1827, Colonel (later Brigadier General) Henry Leavenworth founded Fort
Leavenworth on the bluffs of the Missouri River. For the next several decades Fort
Leavenworth played an important role in keeping the peace among the various
American Indian tribes and the increasing number of settlers heading West. By the
1840’s, travel to Oregon and California had begun and thousands of wagons passed
through Fort Leavenworth on brances of the Santa Fe and Oregon Trails.
In 1854, the City of Leavenworth was founded as the “First City of Kansas.”
Leavenworth became nationally know as the “jumping off point” for the opening of
the West. Buffalo Bill Cody spent part of his youth here and later worked in the area
as a Pony Express rider and Army scout. Cody’s parents are buried in Leavenworth.
