Overland Park was founded in 1905 by William B. Strang Jr., and it was named after its location along a military road that connected Fort Riley to Fort Leavenworth.
Overland Park was originally a farming community, but it quickly developed into a suburban area as the population grew in the 20th century. The city was incorporated in 1960, and it has continued to grow and thrive in the years since.
Overland Park is home to a number of major corporations, including Sprint, YRC Worldwide, and Black & Veatch. The city is also home to the Johnson County Community College and the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Overland Park Campus.
