Dodge City, Frontier town county seat in Kansas, United States
Located on the Arkansas River at 760 meters elevation, Dodge City extends across 14 square miles of Kansas prairie with commercial districts and residential areas.
The settlement emerged in 1872 near Fort Dodge with the arrival of the Santa Fe Railway, transforming from a military outpost into a central hub for cattle trade.
The Boot Hill Museum preserves artifacts and structures from the 1870s and 1880s, including the original Front Street buildings and Western memorabilia collection.
Four major highways intersect in Dodge City, while the regional airport and three railroad lines facilitate transportation for commerce and travelers.
The Home of Stone, constructed in 1881 with thick limestone walls, stands as one of the earliest permanent structures from the frontier period.
