Founded in 1833, Westport was an independent incorporated town on the western frontier until 1898 when it merged with the newer City of Kansas City. The boundaries for the old Town of Westport are defined by 39th Street on the north, 43rd Street on the south, Main Street on the east, and Southwest Trafficway on the west. Today, Westport is surrounded by The Plaza and Midtown – both significantly newer areas of Kansas City. While not a component part of either of the areas surrounding it, Westport’s uniqueness and history remains complimentary and readily visible through its different street grid pattern, its narrower streets, the high density of its built environment, the high concentration of local independent businesses, and the pedestrian scale of its buildings and streetscape.Today the neighborhood is known for its blend of tasty eateries, trendy boutiques and popular nighttime hot spots. By day Westport buzzes with residents and tourists, but really comes to life at night as the restaurants and bars fill up.
