History & geography

History

A post office called North Kansas City was established in 1891. The town lies north of Kansas City, hence the name. Large scale development of the area was not possible before the construction of levees protecting North Kansas City from flooding from the Missouri River. The levee on the north bank of the Missouri River was constructed between 1909 and 1912 and is owned and maintained by the North Kansas City Levee District. The city is also protected by a hillside levee. The city was incorporated on November 4, 1912. A five-member board of trustees was elected in 1914 to oversee municipal affairs. One of the original trustees was William E. Macken, who was elected as the first mayor of North Kansas City in 1924. The city's largest park, Macken Park, is named for him. The Armour Theatre Building, Sears, Roebuck and Company Warehouse Building, and Wheeling Corrugating Company Building are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2012, North Kansas City celebrated its centennial with a citywide celebration. Since 2010, the city has seen the openings of two micro breweries, a distillery and a pickleball facility. The new businesses were fueled by the repopulation of downtown Kansas City, just across the Missouri River.
