Basehor got its start in 1889, when the railroad came through and Ephraim Basehor laid out a town on his land. He and his brother Reuben had come to Kansas decades earlier, and the town still carries their name. The local historical museum tells the rest of the story, and the city itself wasn't incorporated until 1965.
