About Kansas State Which Kansas city do you belong to?
Kansas is a state which is situated in the Midwest of the country. The name of the state is derived from the Kansas River, which flows through it. The river was named after the Kansa tribe which had occupied the area. The people of Kansas are known as 'Kansans'. The state of Kansas was home to a number of nomadic Native Americans who were involved in mainly hunting bison. The first settlers were the European American during the 1830s but the rate of settlement increased during the 1850s during a time of political war over the issue of slavery. After the end of the Civil War, Kansas' population increased at an extremely high rate as a large number of immigrants converted the prairie into a very productive farmland. Now, Kansas is considered as one of the more productive agricultural states as it produces a large number of crops and is the leader in the production of sorghum, wheat and sunflower.

Kansas State Song
Home On the Range

Words by Dr. Brewster Higley, music by Dan Kelly

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam, Where the deer and the antelope play, Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the sky is not clouded all day.

CHORUS A home, a home where the deer and the antelope play, Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the sky is not clouded all day.

Oh, give me the gale of the Solomon vale, Where life streams with buoyancy flow, On the banks of the Beaver, where seldom if ever Any poisonous herbage doth grow.

Oh, give me the land where the bright diamond sand Throws its light from the glittering stream Where glideth along the graceful white swan, Like a maid in a heavenly dream.

I love the wild flowers in this bright land of ours; I love too the wild curley's scream, The bluffs and white rocks and antelope flocks That graze on the hillsides so green.

How often at night, when the heavens are bright With the light of the glittering stars, Have I stood here amazed and asked as I gazed If their glory exceeds this of ours.

The air is so pure, the breezes so free, The zephyrs so balmy and light, I would not exchange my home here to range Forever in azure so bright.

Living in Kansas, Express your views about living in Kansas
In this fast changing world, most are concerned about the lack of good morals that is found in big cities and big states. Kansas is a state which is conservative and therefore helps children to be brought up with good values. It is a family-friendly and likeable state. The education standards are outstanding with excellent school districts which is evident from the SAT scores which are the best in the nation. The cost of living is lower than other states and the crime rate is higher than the national average.
