From the west and north ranged the Comanche and Apache, as well as the Kiowa, Cheyenne and Arapaho.[4] From the 16th century to 18th century, the Kingdom of France claimed ownership of large parts of North America. In 1762, after the French and Indian War, France secretly ceded New France to Spain, per the Treaty of Fontainebleau. 19th centuryIn 1802, Spain returned most of the land to France.

In 1854, the Kansas Territory was organized, then in 1861 Kansas became the 34th U.S. state.
