History
The first Park City was founded in 1870. Located 14 miles (23 km) to the northwest of Wichita, at first it was a formidable rival and in the running to be the county seat but lost. When the railroad bypassed it and came to Wichita, the town died, and its houses were moved to Wichita, Newton, and Hutchinson.
Park City began as the Park City Improvement District in 1953. The district grew from a being quarter section of farmland purchased by developers into a 3,321-acre (13.44 km2) community. After the approval of the Sedgwick County Board of Commissioners, Park City became a third class city on November 26, 1980. The new city held a special election on February 17, 1981. Raymond J. Reiss was elected mayor along with five council members to form the first governing body.
