Olathe

Olathe lies along the southwestern edge of the Kansas City metropolitan area, where rolling prairie terrain meets the broad suburban expanse of northeastern Kansas. The Kansas River runs north of the city, while Olathe forms part of Johnson County’s fast-growing urban belt. Founded in 1857, Olathe takes its name from a Shawnee word commonly translated as “beautiful.” The Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop & Farm Historic Site preserves an 1865 stop associated with travel on the Santa Fe Trail, recalling the settlement’s place on a major 19th-century route west.
