Station History

"Station 4 was opened in 1899 on South 7th Street just south of Central Avenue. The station was put into service to cover the residential area of downtown Kansas City, KS. This station served the downtown area until 1967 when Kansas City, KS annexed the Quindaro Township. The first Quindaro Township station was at 81st Street and Leavenworth Road at what is now the Animal Crackers. A few years before the Quindaro Township was annexed, they built a new station right next to Animal Crackers. This station was renumbered to KCKFD Station 4."
