The positive reception to the first part of this BotC feature included some commentary on how little many of us know about the geography and history of a state we used to call home, if only for a time.
So, with this (and other staff discussions in mind), I’m taking a slightly different approach to this feature. We’re still talking about Kansas State athletes and the towns they’re from, but hopefully, I can also provide some useful information and historical background in the process. (Mostly, I’m having massive nerd fun putting this together!)
Coffey
Coffey County, in the eastern part of the state, was established way back in 1857 as one of the original counties of the Kansas Territory.
