About

Nicodemus.

Nicodemus Kansas is the oldest all African American town west of the Mississippi River from the reconstruction period of the 1870s. Nicodemus was founded by five men, one of which was a white land surveyor W. R. Hill. Mr. Hill went on to start his own town, which became the Graham County seat: Hill City. Nicodemus was named a National Park in 1996 by President Bill Clinton!
