Topeka

The glorious capital of Kansas, Topeko is a scintillating amalgam of architecture, culture and a deep-rooted historical heritage. The word 'Topeko' literally translates to 'To Dig Good Potatoes', and this name was chosen since the founders thought it was exotic and sonorous. Incorporated as a city in 1857, Topeko revels in its scenic setting along the Kansas River. Historically inhabited by Native Americans, Topeko today, has catapulted into a city with many contemporary inventions and discoveries. Standing with an increasingly dynamic landscape, this sprightly city is home to some major attractions like the Reinisch Rose Garden, Doran Rock Garden, the Topeka Zoo and the Combat Air Museum. Topeko is a center-point of Kansas's cultural, political as well as economic doings.
