Leoti, Kansas
Leoti (/liːˈoʊtə/) is a city in and the county seat of Wichita County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 1,475.
Leoti was founded in 1885 by a company of men from Garden City, Kansas. Two years later, in 1887, it was involved in the bloodiest county seat fight in the history of the American West. The shoot-out was on February 27, 1887, when men—some[who?] say hired gunmen—from Leoti, went to the neighboring, rival town of Coronado and left several people dead and wounded. A small town called Farmer City which was located between Coronado and Leoti, was hoped by some to become the county seat—which would end the fighting. Leoti later won the right to become the county seat and now the two other towns consist mainly of farmland. [citation needed]
The origin of the name Leoti is disputed: one tradition says the name is an Indian term for "prairie flower"; another says the community was named for settler Leoti Kibbee; a third says it was named for Leoti Gray, the daughter of a town founder.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.31 square miles (3.39 km2), all land.
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Leoti has a semi-arid climate, abbreviated "BSk" on climate maps.
The 2020 United States census counted 1,475 people, 589 households, and 375 families in Leoti. The population density was 1,120.8 per square mile (432.7/km2). There were 669 housing units at an average density of 508.4 per square mile (196.3/km2). The racial makeup was 64.34% (949) white or European American (55.46% non-Hispanic white), 0.14% (2) black or African-American, 1.22% (18) Native American or Alaska Native, 0.0% (0) Asian, 0.14% (2) Pacific Islander or Native Hawaiian, 17.15% (253) from other races, and 17.02% (251) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race was 39.66% (585) of the population.
Of the 589 households, 34.3% had children under the age of 18; 49.1% were married couples living together; 21.1% had a female householder with no spouse or partner present. 30.1% of households consisted of individuals and 12.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.3 and the average family size was 3.1. The percent of those with a bachelor’s degree or higher was estimated to be 14.2% of the population.
