Shawnee County Kansas
From Bahaipedia
Shawnee County, Kansas
A county in northeast Kansas within which the capitol city of Topeka is found. Named for the Shawnee Indians, the first white settlers arrived in the 1840s.
Baha'is lived in the county beginning in 1934 until their homes were eventually annexed into the city of Topeka in the next decade. Periodically Baha'is lived in the county, but no Baha'i community developed until 1980s. A Spiritual Assembly was first formed in the county in 1994, but with annexations and a mobile population, it was not able to be formed each year.
