Kansas is in the central region of the United Sates. The state is named after the Kansas River which runs through it, where in turn was named after the Kansas tribe who settled in the area. The U.S. government opened the state to settlement in 1854. The area became known as Bleeding Kansas due to all of the violence these two groups endured. After the Civil War, waves of immigrants came to Kansas and turned all its prairie land into farm land. Today, Kansas commercial real estate provides land for one of the leading agricultural states and leads the nation in wheat and sunflower production.
