Mexican Americans have played a pivotal role in shaping the demographics of both the United States and Kansas throughout the past century. Notably, Kansas stands out as one of the five states beyond the Southwest that boasts a Mexican American population exceeding one percent.
Interestingly, the Mexican presence in Kansas predates the state itself. Since the mid-19th century, Mexican individuals have traversed this region as cowboys driving cattle from Texas or as wagoners on the Santa Fe Trail. However, it wasn't until the early 20th century that permanent communities of Mexican immigrants began to form in Kansas. The period spanning from 1900 to 1930 witnessed the largest influx of Mexican immigrants to the state. Similar to other waves of newcomers to the United States, this surge of immigration was primarily driven by prevailing conditions in their home country.[1]
