Wichita! (Wichita!) Wichita! (Wichita)! Wichita
In the town of Wichita, Kansas
There was a man, a man of peace
Things were wild in Wichita, Kansas
He told them all, "This killing must cease!"
He shot it out with the worst men in Wichita
Made every man lay his pistol down...

Founded in 1868 at the confluence of the Little Arkansas and Arkansas rivers, the frontier outpost of Wichita quickly became a trailhead for cattlemen and their herds of longhorns when the AT&SF Railroad arrived in 1872.
Early Wichita had 14 saloons and was a very fun place.
