Lee's Summit, Missouri

Lee's Summit is a city in Jackson County and Cass County, Missouri, United States. It is a suburb of the Kansas City metropolitan area. As of the 2020 census, the population was 101,108, making it the sixth most populous city in both Missouri and the Kansas City metropolitan area. It is the most populous city in the state that is not also a county seat. In 1865, the town was incorporated as Strother, remaining so until it was renamed Lee’s Summit three years later. The city was likely named in honor of Pleasant John Graves Lea, a prominent local citizen killed during the Civil War. Lee's Summit began as an agricultural community and persisted as such until the mid-twentieth century. Upon the conclusion of World War II, the city began to rapidly suburbanize and grow in population, transitioning into a commuter suburb of Kansas City. During this period of growth, Lee’s Summit developed a well-funded public school district. The school district has consistently ranked among the city’s top employers, alongside federal government offices, healthcare facilities, and retail centers. The city has a historic downtown with an Amtrak station, several human-made lake reservoirs, and several parks.
