Topeka is the capital of the state of Kansas, located in Shawnee County. First established by name in 1826, Topeka’s name comes from a Kansa-Osage word that means “a good place to dig potatoes”. Like the rest of the Great Plains regions, Topeka had a booming 19th century. Furthermore, Topeka is known for the groundbreaking Supreme Court case Brown V Board of Education. Topeka is located along the Kansas River, also known as the Kaw River, Kaw Valley, or simply the Kaw.
