Dodge City, Frontier town county seat in Kansas, United States

Dodge City is a county seat in Kansas, United States, set along the Arkansas River. The town spreads over flat prairie land with commercial districts, residential neighborhoods, and parks.

The settlement began in 1872 with railroad construction and quickly became a trading hub for cattle from Texas. Over the following years, the place evolved from a temporary camp into a permanent community.

The town takes its name from Fort Dodge, a nearby nineteenth-century military post. Visitors find storefronts with Western facades and streets that recall the days of cattle drovers.

Four main highways cross at the center and connect the town with surrounding regions. Visitors find their way along wide streets with parking areas and sidewalks.

A public bronze sculpture of a longhorn steer stands downtown and recalls the cattle drives of the 1870s. Local residents often refer to the figure by the nickname El Capitan.
