Kansas City Description Kansas City, the largest city in the state of Missouri, is a beautiful and historic American town. It's often called the "City of Fountains" or "Paris of the Plains," because (reportedly) it has more fountains than any other city except Rome and is second only to Paris for its number of boulevards. A few of Kansas City's famous natives sons include Charlie Parker, Jesse James, Ernest Hemingway, Harry S. Truman and Walt Disney's first animation studio. Many visitors to this city would surely add KC's world-famous barbeque, jazz clubs and tasty steaks to that list. Positioned within gentle rolling hills on the banks of the Missouri River, Kansas City offers a never ending variety of attractions for kids and adults. Fast Facts While residing in Kansas City, Walt Disney created one of his most famous and beloved characters: Mickey Mouse. One of the world's most identifiable icons, the McDonalds Happy Meal, was created in Kansas City. The American Royal BBQ contest held in Kansas City is the largest in the world.
