About Leavenworth

Leavenworth is a Missouri River city and the county seat of Leavenworth County. Founded in 1854, it was the first city incorporated in Kansas Territory, giving it a deep frontier and river-town history. The city is also strongly associated with Fort Leavenworth, federal institutions, and historic military life. Its older downtown, river setting, and brick institutional buildings give Leavenworth a weightier feel than many Kansas cities of similar size.
