Weren't both cities named several different things before they finally settled on "Kansas City"??

How long of a drive would it take you to get from downtown to the other downtown?

quote:

we basically share the same metro area, if that makes any sense.
looked up their separate wiki pages, and both cities have a separate population, so that doesn't really make much sense. There must be a line drawn somewhere. Is it exactly at the state border?

I think Kansas City on the Mo side was originally named just Kansas. To avoid confusion when Kansas became a state, the named changed to Kansas City.

The drive is literally a few minutes, either by I-70 interstate, or by the viaduct. You can see the other city quite clearly no matter what side of the state line you are on. Maybe a couple miles seperate them, if that.

Yes, it's at the border. There is a road that seperates the two called State Line Rd.
