Downtown OP
In 1905, William Strang Jr. platted a subdivision in the rolling hills of Johnson County alongside the old military road we now call Metcalf Avenue. He built an air field, a city park, and lake to invite Kansas City folk to come to a place he called Overland Park.
For transportation, he built an Interurban Railway, commonly called the Strang Carline, connecting Kansas City, Overland Park, and Olathe.
