Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Wichita, Kansas was founded in 1864 as a trading post on the Chisholm Trail during the height of the cattle-driving era. The city quickly grew into a bustling hub for cattle ranchers, cowboys, and settlers looking to start a new life on the plains. By the late 19th century, Wichita had established itself as a major center for trade and commerce in the region. In the early 20th century, Wichita underwent a rapid period of industrialization, becoming known as the “Air Capital of the World” for its thriving aviation industry. The city was home to major aircraft manufacturers such as Cessna, Beechcraft, and Learjet, helping to solidify its reputation as a key player in the aerospace industry. Today, Wichita is a diverse and thriving city with a strong economy, vibrant arts scene, and rich cultural heritage. The city continues to grow and evolve, while still preserving its cowboy roots and pioneer spirit.
