🧱 Did You Know: Basehor's Founding Brothers Built the First Brick House in Leavenworth County
Basehor was founded in 1889 by brothers Reuben and Ephraim Basehor, Pennsylvania Dutch immigrants who came to Kansas in 1854. Ephraim eventually bought up farmland in the area, and when the railroad came through in 1889, he platted out a town site on his own land and dedicated it that November.
A decade before the town was even founded, the Basehor brothers built the first brick house in all of Leavenworth County back in 1879. That house is still standing today near 155th Terrace and Ripley Street, a quiet reminder of just how far back Basehor's roots run.
