Kansas City was seen by Etienne de Veniard, Sieur de Bourgmont during the first European documented visit. It was incorporated in 1850 as the territory was claimed settlement worthy due to its straddling of the border of Missouri and Kansas rivers. Settlers found the rivers helpful in developing the cities trade opportunities in the early 19th century which led to its capabilities today. The Spanish took over during the Treaty of Paris in 1763 only to handle the taxing and licensing all of the cargo through the area.

A lot of development occurred in the area, but not as much as the Civil War. Trade exchanges were halted and animosity grew between settlers; mostly slave owners and abolitionists against the acts. Military leader, General Thomas Ewing evicted four cities of residents during the Civil War. The city took into account of the changes and made a great evolution after the Civil War as the population exploded after 1869. Blacks migrated into the area taking on jobs in the trade industry increasing Kansas City’s revenue and building its community. After these experiences, Missourians and Kansas residents endured years of development until now where recent graduates and students can start a lucrative career in their economy.

Founded in 1541 by Francisco Vasquez de Loronado, the merchants called the area 'cities of gold' as trades developed throughout the terrains. Vasquez de Loronado operated the trades between the Indians and French settlers. By 1863, Wichita Indians created the first permanent settlement along with many Spanish settlers who returned after the Civil War. Spanish settlers found themselves returning to Oklahoma City due to their Pro-Union ideals in which slavery was indeed, wrong. The population grew gradually as Wichita was officially incorporated in 1870. The liberal government allowed change within the city's vicinity.

The 1900s were a time of change within Wichita as the liberal appeal of Wichita helped the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) make a stand against alcohol in the downtown business district. Carrie Nation, a WCTU member, felt an urge to confront store owners regarding their alcohol policies. Between 1914 -1915, oil was discovered within the city's wells and Wichita became a major oil center within Kansas. Settlers and merchants moved to Wichita from all over the area in hopes of building an empire. Trades and revenue of increased the population within the city, but the biggest achievement was in 1917 when Cessna Comet, the first airplane, was built.

The first aircraft lead to the largest manufacturing age in the United States in 1920-1923. Entrepreneurs invested in the development of aircrafts for the United States military and large contracts created a strong dependence on Wichita's businesses. The 'Air City' continues to grow until today, but the most memorable years were between 1925 and 1947 as four major companies emerged: Swallows, Stearman Aircraft, Travel Air, and Beech Aircraft. The spread of aircraft manufacturers around the country gave its credits to Wichita.

Sports, culture, and fun is the best way to describe Wichita's attractions for young families and single adults. Wichita's professional sports teams such as the Wichita Thunder (Ice Hockey), Wichita Wild (Arena Football), and Wichita Barbarians (Rugby). For students or families fascinated with garden or botanical exhibitions will find the Botanica, The Wichita Gardens' 24 gardens an amazing gesture for your intellectual needs.

The city's growing population began during the 1800s when slave trade started between cities. Over 7,000 residents lived in Louisville building small shops and commerce to help drive revenue and bidders to the city to buy slaves. Louisville was rather successful prior to the Civil War which caused most of its population to flee and grow. The Union officials used Louisville for planning, distributions, and recruiting.

The river's capabilities were taken advantage of until the "Great Flood of '37" where 70% of the city was submerged.

New Orleans' unique style dates back to 1718 when it was founded by the French Mississippi Company. The city was known as La Nouvelle-Orleans, named after Phillippe II, Duke of Orleans, and a Regent of France. New Orleans was conquered by the Spanish Empire and remained under its control for 40 years. The surviving architecture of the French Quarter is still visible and survives the Spanish ruling. By the 1830s, New Orleans became one of the wealthiest and most populated cities in the US. The ports were used for slave trade between merchants which doubled the city's population. New Orleans remained a popular city until the Union conquered it and released slaves. The city was very successful for many years until the beginning of the 20th century when scientists realized its lower elevation made New Orleans vulnerable.

Hurricane Betsy was one small taste of what could happen to the city - dozens of residents died but the inland remained dry. That experience brought numerous engineers in to learn and study the weakness of the levees. Changes did not occur fast enough as nothing could have harmed the city more than Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Hurricane Katrina displaced many residents across the nation leading the largest evacuation in American history. Now, the city is in need of reconstruction, drainage, and population growth. Volunteers from all over the US have been to the city to help remove debris from Hurricane Katrina. Recent graduates interested in pursuing a career in engineering can gain tremendous experience while helping residents rebuild their city.

There is still fun, excitement and a taste of the New Orleans culture tourists can dig in at Bourbon Street and the French Quarters in downtown. American tourists love to travel up and down these streets embedding themselves into the lifestyles of the Big Easy. Other tourists attractions include Magazine Street (historical shops), and the St. Charles Avenue (historic Pontchartrain Hotel).

The 17th Century was the beginning of a heavy porting system created in Baltimore to drive revenue from tobacco port of entry. These trades lasted until the mid-to-late 18th Century as sugar-production increased from the Caribbean. Baltimore took advantage of this to sell sugar and tobacco to other colonies. Many of the settlers found the British taxation intolerable and created events that lead to American Revolution. Revolutionists moved to the city to develop riots and treaties banning British merchants from purchasing from its colonies.

After the treaties were signed, Dr. John Stevenson and Jonathan Plowman Jr. established a port for indentured servants from England during the 1750s and 60s. Other problems arose for Customs officer Robert Mason was chased from the city after trying to seize the Speedwell ship with its cargo. Mason first fled to Annapolis then to Boston to stay away from the townsmen. Nothing seemed so serious to Baltimore residents until the War of 1812 when the British attacked the city. The British armies moved through the ports of Baltimore while its residents fought hard to defend their city. Historical references claim that residents threw pan, pots, buckets, and other materials after they ran out of ammunition. The battle was known as "Battle of Baltimore".

The population grew phenomenally when the commerce grew and businesses emerged in the ports. Importers and exporters generated a lot of jobs for Baltimore's residents while helping revitalize its downtown. The Great Fire of Baltimore in February of 1904 destroyed over 1,500 buildings and caused the city to reconstruct its city. By the 1950s, Baltimore became the 6th largest city in the country with a population of 949,708. The recent develops included the revitalization of the Inner Harbor, construction of the Harborplace, and The National Aquarium of Baltimore.

Recent college graduates or students with families will find Baltimore full of surprises with its attractions and sports teams. Are you looking for fun? Visit the Maryland Zoo or the National Aquarium in Baltimore to learn about the many animals and underwater life creatures. Do you like history?

Fishing and farming was a prosperous business venture during the early years of Bridgeport because it is located in deep Newfield Harbor. Industrious men took on whaling and ship building during the mid 19th Century as Bridgeport's population quickly grew. The whaling industry was a large source of revenue for the city until the late 19th Century when the famous Bridgeport Mill opened. Bridgeport Mill's manufacturing of sewing machines, carriages, saddles, ammunition, brass fittings, milling machine, and brassieres increased the city's importance in New England.

The success rendered in the late 19th Century grew into a more prominent role by 1930 when Bridgeport had over 500 factories within its city. Its prominence dragged between the 1970s and 1980s as its deindustrialization caused high unemployment and loss of population. Residents experienced a draw back in progress because the factories were closing, drug problems arose, and pollution created expensive environmental damage. Bridgeport could not afford to repair the problems as the city suffered lost of interests by the rest of Connecticut. The unemployment left some part of the area abandoned and very few were considered 'ghost towns' because no form of population existed.

Coined as "The Mile High City", Denver has an elevation exactly one mile higher than sea level. Surveyors visited the area during the Peak Gold Rush in 1858 by speculators from Lawrence, Kansas. The Kansas Territory continued to develop until November 22, 1858 when the city was near the best trails to handle trades between the state's merchants.
