Named after the wife of a local Native American Chief, and with a history tracing back to the mid-19th century, Lenexa, Kansas, is a beautiful, intriguing place to live in. In the early 20th century, it was known as the Spinach Capital of the World, because of the Spinach Festival held annually.
This place is perfect for people who are tired of the hustle and bustle of big city living, and desire a higher quality of life at a slower pace. However, the proximity to the much larger Kansas City, only 20 minutes away, leaves residents of the Lenexa area with access to a larger cultural scene, as well as an easy commute.
Lenexa holds a National Archives and Records Administration’s Records Center, called The Caves, home to a great number and variety of federal documents from agencies all over the US.
All residents enjoy the annual Great Barbecue Battle, in June, a favorite event for every meat lover. In September, The Spinach Festival is a welcomed respite after a period of hard work, and also, much more vegan friendly than its previous counterpart.
