City Description

Linwood is a city in Leavenworth County, Kansas, United States, about 15 miles (24 km) east of Lawrence. The population was 374 at the 2000 census. Linwood was founded as "Journeycake," being named after Charles Journeycake, the last Delaware chief. The town was platted on both sides of Stranger Creek, near its mouth at the Kansas River. In May 1860, a treaty was signed at Sarcoxieville, 3 miles (4.8 km) northeast of Linwood, by Chief Sarcoxie of the Delaware and by the United States. After the treaty's signature, each member of the tribe was assigned a parcel of land, and the balance of the tribe's territories were sold to the predecessor of the Union Pacific Railroad. Meanwhile, the U.S. government established a trading post near Stranger Creek until the tribe was moved to the Indian Territory in 1867. Located beside the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, the store became the town’s first school. In September 1863, the Union Pacific Railroad began building the main line westward across the Great Plains from Kansas City, Kansas, to Denver, Colorado. This was the long-line railroad in Kansas for 2-3 years. The first 40 miles was open in 1864 from Wyandotte (now a suburb of Kansas City)
