Leavenworth claims the title of the first incorporated city in Kansas Territory, established in 1854. The city grew up alongside Fort Leavenworth, a U.S. Army post founded in 1827 that remains one of the oldest active military installations west of the Mississippi. The fort houses the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, where mid-career officers study strategy and operational planning.
The United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth, opened in 1903 and was the largest maximum-security federal prison in the country for most of the twentieth century. The U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth is the military's only maximum-security prison. Combined with the Leavenworth Detention Center, the city hosts three distinct federal and military correctional facilities within its boundaries.
Downtown Leavenworth's commercial district along Delaware Street features brick storefronts from the 1880s and 1890s. The C. Fred Harvey Museum preserves the story of the Harvey House restaurants that served railroad passengers across the West. The city's population is approximately 36,000, with a significant portion tied to military and correctional employment.
