Kansas City, Missouri, did not exist when Westport was first settled in 1831. It didn't take long after Lewis and Clark set off from St. Louis for this settlement to become a bustling supply center for the uber adventurous mountain men, desperate New England farming families, immigrants and assorted fortune seekers bound for the newly acquired lands of the Louisiana Purchase. Just seven years later the town of Kansas was established a few miles north on the banks of the Missouri River. Fertile land, the "superhighways" of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and westward expansion provided both steady growth and prosperity for what would become sprawling metropolitan Kansas City.

Kelly's

Kelly's Westport Inn did not serve the pioneers, but the dry goods store that first occupied the 1850 brick building may have been the last supply station any of these westward bound people would see for many months. "Location, location, location" is obviously what Albert Boone, grandson of Daniel Boone, was thinking when he established his store and saloon in Westport. The town was literally the intersection of the Sante Fe, Oregon and California Trails. As the oldest building in metropolitan Kansas City (the town was incorporated into the city in the 1890s) it's on the National Register. It became an inn in the 1930s and Irish immigrant Randall Kelly started tending bar in 1947. Within a few years Kelly acquired the inn, a genuine working class pub frequented by such KC luminaries as painter Thomas Hart Benton.
