Living in Topeka

Topeka is a city of around 127,000 residents in northeast Kansas and is the state’s capital. It has a history almost as old as the United States itself and was important in the struggle against segregation, with the city’s Monroe Elementary School being one of the segregated schools involved in the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision to end segregation in public schools. Topeka is known as "The Capitol City" and the importance of its position can be seen in the grand Kansas State Capitol building, built between 1866 and 1903 and featuring renowned murals by John Steuart Curry. To find out more about the city, expats living in Topeka can join the online international expatriate community at InterNations. On this platform, they can mix with other global minds and benefit from local insights.
