About the Unified Government:
"Kansas City, Kansas is the third largest city in the state of Kansas and is the
county seat of Wyandotte County. The city was incorporated in 1886 and for 73
years was governed by a three-member elected Board of Commissioners. In August
of 1982, the city held and election and voters approved a change in the form of
city government. Under the Charter Ordinance No. 84 the city changed to a
seven-member, Mayor- Council-Administrator for of government in April, 1983.
In 1997, voters unanimously approved to consolidate the city and county
governments into one jurisdiction. The county of Wyandotte – also affectionately
known as “The Dot” – is also home to the cities of Bonner Springs and
Edwardsville. Today, nearly 158,000 people call this community home. While we’ll
never forget our historic past, our future promises to be even more exciting.
We’re home to historic sites, restaurants, shopping, sports and one-of-a-kind
attractions. Over the past several years, Kansas City, Kansas and Wyandotte
County have gradually transitioned to a major shopping destination and tourist
attraction venue." - from:
