The first Park City was founded in 1870. Located to the northwest of Wichita, it was at first a formidable rival, but it risked all on the county seat and lost. When the railroad passed it by and came to Wichita, the town died, and its houses were removed to Wichita, Newton and Hutchinson.
The first and only newspaper for Park City was The Park City Newsdropper. It ran for 1 year in 1980 and its publisher was Jerrie Molina, the city's first City Clerk. Hartman Arena, a privately constructed and owned arena from local developer Wink Hartman, opened in March 2009 and serves as the home of the Wichita Wings indoor soccer team.
