The oldest section of Wichita is the Delano District. In the late 19th century, it was a hotspot for cowboys who drove cattle on the Chisholm Trail. This area was bustling with saloons, gambling houses, brothels, gunfights, and cattle rustling during the 1870s through 1880s. Today, this stretch of town is known as Delano, and it has transformed into a thriving shopping and dining district in Wichita. However, the area remains one of the most haunted in town, with reports of ghost sightings, including that of Edward T. “Red” Beard, who was notoriously gunned down by his rival saloon owner, "Rowdy" Joe Love, at point-blank range. For those seeking a glimpse into Wichita's past, Delano is a must-visit, where the town's rich history and haunting presence combine to create a unique and unforgettable experience.
