The open Kansas prairie was often found intimidating and foreign to settlers moving west because the landscape they left home had trees to provide wood for cooking and fuel for cooking and fuel for warmth during long winters. When the settlers spotted a cottonwood tree memories of home and shade came back and they had the confidence to move on. Later settlers staking out a new life on the Kansas prairie routinely planted the fast growing cottonwood to provide the shade, warmth and cooking fuel they had left in the east. Because of the part played by the tree in the early days of settlement, the cottonwood has been called the pioneer tree of Kansas.Then because of the House Bill No. 113, introduced by State Representative Relihan, started the official process that led to the cottonwood being adopted as the official state tree of Kansas by an act of the Kansas Legislature, approved on March 23, 1937.
