| Description |
Alta Vista is a city in Wabaunsee County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 444. It is part of the Topeka, Kansas Metropolitan Statistical Area. Alta Vista was founded in 1887, and it was incorporated as a city in 1905. Alta Vista is derived from the Spanish word for "high view", and the city was so named from its lofty elevation. In 1887, the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska Railway built a main line from Topeka through Alta Vista to Herington. The Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska Railway was foreclosed in 1891 and taken over by Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway, which shut down in 1980 and reorganized as Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas Railroad, merged in 1988 with Missouri Pacific Railroad, merged in 1997 with Union Pacific Railroad. Most locals still refer to this railroad as the "Rock Island". The first post office in Alta Vista was established in March 1887. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alta_Vista,_Kansas en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
