Few communities in Kansas have a history as closely connected to railroad growth as Basehor. Founded in 1889 during the arrival of a rail line, this Leavenworth County city developed from a small rural settlement into part of the Kansas City metropolitan area. The Kansas River runs south of town, while the surrounding terrain retains the open fields and gently rolling character of northeastern Kansas. Basehor’s position west of Kansas City places daily life between metropolitan connections and the farming traditions of the state’s border country.
