About Topeka

Topeka, Kansas is a proud and historically significant city situated on the Kansas River in the northeastern corner of Kansas, approximately 90 kilometres west of Kansas City and 160 kilometres east of Salina, and serves as the state capital of Kansas — a city of government, deep civil rights heritage, and a warm plains community character whose name is known to every American schoolchild as the site of one of the most transformative legal decisions in the history of the United States, and whose broader story of frontier settlement, abolitionist struggle, and civic resilience makes it one of the more historically consequential mid-sized capitals in the American interior.

Topeka's place in American history is secured above all by Brown v. Board of Education — the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional and struck the decisive legal blow against the Jim Crow system, fundamentally transforming American society and the promise of equal citizenship for all Americans. The case took its name from Oliver Brown, a Topeka welder whose daughter Linda was denied admission to an all-white elementary school just blocks from their home, and the Monroe Elementary School where Linda Brown was refused enrollment is now the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site — one of the most important and moving civil rights landmarks in the United States, interpreting the case and its extraordinary legacy with exceptional depth and honesty.

Topeka's frontier and territorial heritage is equally rich — the city served as a major station on the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails and as a flashpoint of the Bleeding Kansas crisis of the 1850s, when pro-slavery and free-state settlers fought a brutal guerrilla war over Kansas's future that was a direct prelude to the Civil War and that gave Kansas its enduring identity as a free state won through genuine sacrifice and moral conviction. The Kansas State Capitol, whose magnificent copper dome was completed in 2013 after a decade-long restoration and whose interior murals by John Steuart Curry depicting the abolitionist John Brown are among the most powerful works of public art in any American statehouse, anchors a governmental district of considerable historical and architectural interest.

Top attractions include the outstanding Kansas Museum of History, one of the finest state history museums in the Great Plains, the Combat Air Museum at Forbes Field with its outstanding collection of historic military aircraft, the beautiful Gage Park with its beloved Reinisch Rose Garden and free zoo, the Mulvane Art Museum, and the vibrant NOTO Arts and Entertainment District whose colourful murals and independent galleries have brought a creative energy to the city's north Topeka neighbourhood.

With its world-historic civil rights landmark, magnificent State Capitol murals, rich frontier and territorial heritage, outstanding history museum, and a warm and unpretentious Kansas community spirit that takes quiet pride in its outsized role in the American story, Topeka is a plains capital of genuine and enduring national significance.

Its airport code is TOP (Philip Billard Municipal Airport), with additional regional service available via FOE (Topeka Regional Airport at Forbes Field).
