Argentine is a community of Kansas City, in the southern part of Wyandotte County, Kansas, United States. It is bordered on the west by the Turner community, on the east by the Rosedale community, on the south by Johnson County, and on the north by Armourdale community and by the Kansas River.
Argentine was primarily recognized for the prosperous silver smeltery for which it was named.[1] Built on the site of a former Shawnee reservation, the proximity of the railroad, local lumber sources, the smeltery, and in later years, steel manufacturing, meant that the city enjoyed a considerable amount of economic success for quite some time.
When the smeltery finally closed, the city found itself in the throes of an unprecedented financial crisis and began to seek entry to nearby Kansas City in 1907. Although the community was annexed and became the seventh ward of Kansas City, Kansas in 1910, the neighborhood retains its own distinct flavor and personality.
Prominent nearby landmarks include Argentine Carnegie Library (the last Carnegie library in the Kansas City metropolitan area), the grave of Tecumseh's brother, the Shawnee prophet Tensquatawa at White Feather Spring, Sauer Castle at 945 Shawnee Road, and the Argentine mural located at 30th Street and Metropolitan Avenue.
The neighborhood is the location of one of three rail yards on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, the Argentine Yard.[2]
It is in the Kansas City, Kansas School District. Its local high school is J. C. Harmon High School, which opened in 1973 as the fusion of Argentine Senior High School and Rosedale Senior High School.[3] The neighborhood has its own middle school, Argentine Middle School.
カンザス州カンザスシティ公共図書館は現在、アルゼンチンに21,000平方フィート（2,000平方メートル）のスペースを持つサウスブランチ図書館を運営している[ 4 ]。この名前は、特定の地域ではなく、市の南部地域全体にサービスを提供していることを反映するために選ばれた[ 5 ] 。
かつては、1911年に店舗で開館し、1917年に独自のカーネギービルを取得したアルゼンチン・カーネギー図書館を運営していた。 [ 6 ] 1998年までに、国立歴史登録財に登録され、市内で唯一残っているカーネギー図書館となった。[ 7 ] 2012年に現在のサウスブランチが開館し、費用は600万ドルで、その3分の1は地元住民による募金活動で賄われた。住民が150万ドルから200万ドルを集めれば、学区が残りの費用を支払うことに同意した。現在の図書館を建てるために古い食料品店が取り壊され、学区は以前の図書館を所有することになった。[ 5 ]
