Dodge City

City in southwestern Kansas, USA, on the Arkansas River; seat of Ford County; population (2000 est) 25,200. It is the centre of an agricultural region (wheat and cattle), and farm and livestock-handling machinery are manufactured here. Dodge City was an important cattle-trading centre, or cow town, in the heyday of the early US cattle industry (1865–85), during the era of the Wild West. It is now a tourist centre.

Founded in 1865 as Buffalo City, it changed its name to Dodge City in 1872 and was incorporated in 1875. With the arrival of the railroad, the city became the terminus for cattle drives from the Santa Fe Trail. Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson were law officials here, and the infamous Boot Hill Cemetery, used only from 1872 to 1878, has been preserved. Ruts left by wagons on the trail are one of six entries on the national register of historic places.
