Fairway, Kansas
Fairway is a city in Johnson County, Kansas, United States. It is included in the Kansas City metropolitan area census designation and the Shawnee Mission postal services designation. As of the 2020 United States census, the city population was 4,170.
For millennia, the Great Plains of North America were inhabited by nomadic Native Americans. In the 1820s, the federal government reserved this area for use by the Shawnee people, who had ceded their lands east of the Mississippi River to the United States. In 1839, Methodists established the Shawnee Methodist Mission here to operate a school for the Shawnee and try to convert them to Christianity. Later it was named the Shawnee Indian Manual Labor School and also accepted Native American boarding students, then closed in 1862. The site is now owned by the Kansas Historical Society, designated as a National Historic Landmark, and is operated by the city of Fairway as a museum.
In the 1930s, as Kansas City suburbs were developing, a developer named J.C. Nichols. laid out a subdivision near a golf course. It was named Fairway from its proximity to several driving ranges. Fairway was incorporated in 1949 and is known as "The City of Trees".
Fairway formed its own police force in 1949 with the appointment of a town marshal. This position was succeeded by police chiefs.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.15 square miles (2.98 km2), all land.
The 2020 United States census counted 4,170 people, 1,755 households, and 1,154 families in Fairway. The population density was 3,693.5 per square mile (1,426.1/km2). There were 1,822 housing units at an average density of 1,613.8 per square mile (623.1/km2). The racial makeup was 89.95% (3,751) white or European American (88.27% non-Hispanic white), 0.91% (38) black or African-American, 0.14% (6) Native American or Alaska Native, 2.01% (84) Asian, 0.02% (1) Pacific Islander or Native Hawaiian, 0.67% (28) from other races, and 6.28% (262) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race was 4.51% (188) of the population.
