Our Community
Adjacent to Downtown Kansas City, Kansas, Strawberry Hill is set on the bluffs overlooking the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers. We respectfully acknowledge the several tribal nations, including the Kickapoo, Kaw/Kansa, Osage, Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, Shawnee and Wyandot People, who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. The neighborhood was populated in the late 1800s by a variety of immigrants from Croatia, Germany, Ireland, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, and Sweden. Strawberry Hill continues to be rich in culture and diversity today.
Our Neighborhood Association
Residents and business owners established the Strawberry Hill Neighborhood Association in the 1990s as a way to preserve, restore, and revitalize the community. The following is our present Mission Statement.
The mission of Strawberry Hill Neighborhood Association, Inc. is to work in cooperation and have a collaborative partnership with all residents, property owners, and local businesses toward the preservation, restoration and revitalization of the Strawberry Hill community. The Association will strive to improve and develop Strawberry Hill into a community that provides a safe, clean climate for existing residents that will also attract new business and neighbors.
