'''Eastborough''' is a city in [[Sedgwick County, Kansas|Sedgwick County]], [[Kansas]], United States,<ref name="GNIS"/> and an [[enclave]] of the city of [[Wichita, Kansas|Wichita]].  As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the population of the city was 756.<ref name="Census-2020-Profile">{{cite web |title=Profile of Eastborough, Kansas in 2020 |url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=1600000US2019300 |publisher=United States Census Bureau |access-date=November 14, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211114183847/https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=1600000US2019300 |archive-date=November 14, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref>

==History==
Eastborough was originally envisioned by Burdon Hunter, a British architect. The first development in the Eastborough area began in 1929, but the [[Hydrocarbon exploration|discovery of oil]] in the area postponed its establishment until the middle of the 1930s. Sale of Eastborough Village started April 10, 1929. It was planned to incorporate when the first thirty homes were completed, but Eastborough found itself in disputes with the neighboring Woodlawn subdivision, i.&nbsp;e. they could not agree upon a name for the street between them. The disputes were resolved after the two agreed to apply together for incorporation, and Eastborough and Woodlawn were incorporated as the city of Eastborough on June 1, 1937.<ref name="History1">{{cite web |title=History of Eastborough |url=http://www.eastborough-ks.gov/history/history.php |website=City of Eastborough |access-date=November 13, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171114022731/http://www.eastborough-ks.gov/history/history.php |archive-date=November 14, 2017 |date=November 13, 2017}}</ref>

Eastborough became known as a "[[speed trap]]", because it has a lower speed limit than [[Wichita, Kansas|Wichita]], which surrounds it.<ref>{{cite web |title=Eastborough police say longtime 20 mph limit isn’t meant as speed trap |url=http://www.kansas.com/news/local/article22653291.html |website=[[The Wichita Eagle]] |access-date=November 13, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171114034303/http://www.kansas.com/news/local/article22653291.html |archive-date=November 14, 2017 |date=May 29, 2015}}</ref> The speed limit of Douglas Avenue on both sides in Wichita is 30 miles per hour, whereas it was 20 miles per hour in Eastborough, a reduction of 33%. Eastborough has many residents who regularly walk in the streets of the city. There are no sidewalks in Eastborough, which is why the city has a lower speed limit. This issue became well known after [[Towne East Square]] shopping center was built east of Eastborough in 1975, because Wichita residents would commonly travel through Eastborough to get to Towne East since nearby Kellogg had traffic congestion problems. After Wichita completed an overhaul of nearby east Kellogg in 2009, Douglas Avenue was no longer the best route to Towne East.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kellogg, Rock interchange opens this week |url=http://www.kansas.com/news/local/article1012291.html |website=[[The Wichita Eagle]] |access-date=November 13, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171114040841/http://www.kansas.com/news/local/article1012291.html |archive-date=November 14, 2017 |date=November 3, 2009}}</ref>

The city gave up some land to the expansion of Kellogg/[[U.S. Route 54 in Kansas|U.S. Route 54]] on its southern boundary in 2002 and a wall was constructed along the southern boundary.  As part of this construction, a new pond and playground was constructed and opened in 2003.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.eastborough-ks.gov/newsletters/newsletter-0301.php|title=Welcome to the City of EastBorough|website=www.eastborough-ks.gov|access-date=June 13, 2018}}</ref>
