Muncie is a neighborhood in Kansas City, Kansas on the north bank of the Kansas River. Rail lines run through it.
The area[1] derives its name from the Munsee which was part of the Algonquian speaking Delaware (tribe). Reverend Jesse Vogler[2] and John Kilbuck, and 72 Christianized Munsee Indians, came to the area aboard the St. Peters. The Munsee Moravian Mission was located in the Westfield settlement.[3]
On December 8, 1874, the James-Younger Gang are believed to have robbed a Kansas Pacific Railroad there of $30,000.
Grinter Place in the Grinter Heights neighborhood is on the National Register of Historic Places. A ferry that was used on the military route between Fort Leavenworth, Kansas and Fort Scott, Kansas crossed the river here.
