Kansas City was founded in the 1830s as a port on the Missouri and Kansas rivers. On June 1, 1850, the town of Kansas was incorporated; soon afterwards, a region designated as the Kansas Territory was established. Confusion between the city and the territory of Kansas ensued, so the name Kansas City was assigned to distinguish the city from the territory. The city's growth was closely tied to westward expansion, as railroads and the Kansas City Stockyards established it as a major transportation and livestock center.

Situated along Missouri's western border with Kansas, Kansas City encompasses 319.03 square miles (826.3 km2), making it the 25th-largest U.S. city by area. It is one of the two county seats of Jackson County, alongside Independence.
