In the mid 1850s, proslavery settlers from Missouri founded the town. The first post office was established on March 3, 1855. Because of Tecumseh’s close location to Topeka, and the politics of its founders, it was involved in much of the chaos that enveloped Kansas during its bloody territorial years.This Item is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
