Why is the state of Kansas called the Sunflower State?
assistant
Kansas is called the Sunflower State because the state flower is the sunflower. The state flower is called the sunflower because the first settlers of Kansas were looking for a place where they could grow their crops and raise their families. When they arrived in Kansas, they found the land to be very fertile and the soil was rich with nutrients. The settlers named the area the “Sunflower State” because of the abundance of sunshine and the abundance of the sunflowers that grew there.
