Longhorn Park / Dodge City Airport
Dodge City's history is rich in images of cowboys, Indians, stagecoaches, wagon trails, buffalo hunters, boot hill, horses and longhorn cattle. Over 100 years ago, Texas had wild longhorn cattle free for the taking by cowboys with enough grit to take 'em!
Short on money after the Civil War, cowboys rounded up, roped, branded and drove the wild Longhorn cattle north to the railroads of Kansas for shipment to Northeast markets.
Between the years of 1875 and 1885 over 2.5 million longhorns were trailed into Dodge City. Although the era only lasted 10 years, Dodge City became forever a part of the American spirit.
