Galena is a historic city located in Cherokee County in the southeastern corner of Kansas, United States. The city was founded in 1876 after the discovery of lead ore deposits in the area, and its name comes from galena, the natural mineral form of lead sulfide.
The city played a significant role in the region's mining history, being part of the Tri-State Mining District that included parts of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. During its peak mining period in the early 20th century, Galena was a bustling mining town. Today, while mining is no longer active, the city preserves its mining heritage through various historic sites.
Galena is also notable for being situated along the historic Route 66, which has contributed to its cultural significance and tourism appeal. The city maintains several buildings from its early days, offering visitors a glimpse into its industrial past and the development of the American Midwest.
