History

Bonner Springs was founded in 1812 as Four Houses, a settlement of Delaware Indian families, and officially incorporated in 1898, named after Robert Bonner, a local settler.
It evolved from a trading post along the Kansas River into a key stop on the Santa Fe Trail, with the 1880s arrival of the railroad sparking growth as a commercial hub.
Notable figures like Henry McCarty (Billy the Kid) reportedly passed through in the 1870s, and the town’s Agricultural Center, built in 1913, reflects its farming legacy, preserved at sites like the Wyandotte County Historical Museum.

The city hosts the Kansas City Renaissance Festival, one of the largest in the Midwest, drawing thousands each fall since 1977 to its 16-acre fairgrounds.
Bonner Springs has a diverse demographic, with 81.2% White, 7.5% Hispanic, and 5.8% Black residents (2020 census), and a median household income of $82,730, reflecting a growing suburban hub.
