Editing Linwood, Kansas (section)

===Beginnings===
Linwood was founded as '''Journeycake''', named after [[Charles Journeycake]], the last [[Lenape|Delaware]] chief. People occasionally made fun of the name Journeycake by calling it "Johnny Cake." The community was platted on both sides of Stranger Creek, near the creek's mouth at the [[Kansas River]].

In May 1860, a treaty was signed at Sarcoxieville, {{convert|3|mi|km}} northeast of Linwood, by Chief Sarcoxie of the Delaware and by the United States.<ref>[http://lenapedelawarehistory.net/mirror/persN-Z.htm Pers N-Z], Lenape-Delaware History.net, 2006-06-09.  Accessed 2007-08-09.</ref> After the treaty's signature, each member of the tribe was assigned a parcel of land, and the balance of the tribe's territories were sold to the predecessor of the [[Union Pacific Railroad]].  Meanwhile, the U.S. government established a trading post near Stranger Creek until the tribe was moved to the [[Indian Territory]] in 1867. Located beside the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, the trading post became the first school in the community.
