Abstract
Garden City is located in southwest Kansas, 215 miles west of Wichita and 309 miles southeast of Denver, Colorado. At an elevation of approximately 2,900 feet, it rests amid a semiarid region of short grass and sandsage prairie. With an estimated population of 25,000, it is not only the Finney County seat but a trade and service center for small agricultural communities and unincorporated rural settlements in a five-state area of the southern High Plains (Garden City Planning Department 1989). What follows is an attempt by the Changing Relations Project--six sojourners--to understand and explain how Garden City has met and accommodated its newest arrivals.
