As the United States began to grow west, settlers flocked to Kansas City for space, land and a new life. At the same time, these settlers started the framework for the diverse community that Kansas City has grown to become today.
The cultural diversity that resides in this metropolitan area includes African, African American, Asian, Latino, Italian, Irish, German, Native American, Slavic, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern. This rich ethnic fabric of Kansas City continues to grow and prosper.
