Archaeological evidence indicates that the site of present-day Wichita,
which is located at the junction of the Arkansas Rivers in south central Kansas,
has served as a trading center and meeting place for at least eleven thousand years.
Early inhabitants were nomadic, following the game

European explorers may have first visited Kansas in 1541,
when the Spaniard Francisco Vasquez de Coronado
hunted for the mythical "golden" cities of Quivira.
French and American explorers followed in later centuries.
