McPherson

McPherson combines the civic focus of a county seat with the broad agricultural horizon of central Kansas in a way that reflects its position on the Great Plains. Turkey Creek runs through the city, while the surrounding landscape is shaped by the grain farming and prairie conditions that define much of the state. Founded in 1870 and named for Union general James B. McPherson, the community developed as a regional service and commercial centre. McPherson College, established in 1887, is known for its automotive restoration programme, an unusual academic specialty that connects the town with American motoring heritage.
