Garden City: Meatpacking Hub of Southwest Kansas
Garden City sits along the Arkansas River in Finney County, in the high plains of southwest Kansas. Founded in 1878, the city became an agricultural center focused on irrigated farming using water from the Ogallala Aquifer. Sugar beets, corn, and feed grains remain important crops, but the meatpacking industry now drives the local economy.
Tyson Fresh Meats operates one of the world's largest beef processing facilities in Garden City. The plant and related agricultural operations have drawn workers from Mexico, Central America, East Africa, and Southeast Asia, making Finney County one of the most diverse counties in Kansas. The Lee Richardson Zoo, a free-admission municipal zoo, houses more than 300 animals across 95 acres in Finnup Park.
Garden City Community College serves the region with two-year degree programs. The city's population of approximately 27,000 makes it the commercial center for a wide swath of sparsely populated western Kansas. The Big Pool in Garden City, built in 1922, was once claimed to be the world's largest free outdoor concrete swimming pool.
