Topeka, Kansas

Topeka (; Kansa: ''Tó Pee Kuh'') is the capital city of the State of Kansas and the seat of Shawnee County.〔 It is situated along the Kansas River in the central part of Shawnee County, located in northeast Kansas, in the Central United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 127,473.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=DEC_10_PL_GCTPL2.ST13&prodType=table )〕 The Topeka Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Shawnee, Jackson, Jefferson, Osage, and Wabaunsee counties, had a population of 233,870 in the 2010 census.
The name ''Topeka'' is a Kansa-Osage sentence that means "Place where we dug potatoes"〔Burn, Louis F. (1989) "A history of the Osage people", p. 579. Ciga Press, CA. ISBN 0-942574-09-5〕 or "a good place to dig potatoes".〔http://www.livingplaces.com/KS/Shawnee_County/Topeka_City.html〕 As a placename, ''Topeka'' was first recorded in 1826 as the Kansa name for what is now called the Kansas River. Topeka's founders chose the name in 1855 because it "was novel, of Indian origin and euphonious of sound."〔(Topeka's Roots: the Prairie Potato — Barbara Burgess )〕〔(King, Dick (2005) "Topeka" rooted in spuds. Topeka Capital-Journal, 20 Nov. )〕 The mixed-blood Kansa Native American, Joseph James, called Jojim, is credited with suggesting the name of Topeka.〔Connelley, William E. "Origin of the Name of Topeka." Collections of the Kansas State Historical Society, Vol. 27, pp.589-593〕 The city, laid out in 1854, was one of the Free-State towns founded by Eastern antislavery men immediately after the passage of the Kansas–Nebraska Bill. In 1857, Topeka was chartered as a city.
The city is well known for the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case ''Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka'', which overturned ''Plessy vs. Ferguson'' and declared racial segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional.〔http://www.nps.gov/brvb/historyculture/upload/brown%20US%20supreme%20court.pdf〕 Three ships of the U.S. Navy have been named after the city.
