Kansas became a state in 1861. After the Civil War, Kansas became known as an important cattle state, with Dodge City earning the nickname "Queen of Cowtowns." Millions of head of cattle were driven up the Chisholm Trail from Texas ranches to railroads in Kansas, and the state became known for its cowboy culture. Kansas is part of the Grain Belt, and produces wheat, sorghum, and soybeans. Cattle, sheep, and hogs are also produced in Kansas. However, agriculture is not the largest part of the economy. An important part of the economy of the state is the aerospace industry, with Spirit AeroSystems being the largest employer. Cessna and Learjet are also major aerospace companies in the state. Other large companies have their headquarters based in Kansas, such as Sprint and Garmin.
