Leavenworth claims to be the First City, because, to quote from the City of Leavenworth website: The City of Leavenworth was founded in 1854 largely to support Fort Leavenworth, but quickly became the springboard to the west. The settlement was the first official town in Kansas. (And in some ways it's still a camptown.)
Many, many, many people have come through Fort Leavenworth, and interacted with the more permanent residents of the City of Leavenworth. It's the only place that I have seen license plates for both Alaska and Hawaii, both of them more than once.
Between them, Leavenworth and the Fort have so many historic sites there is a distinct shortage of people to serve as volunteers. The Fred Harvey House, for example, is open only by appointment.
And the restaurants !!! Almost no end to the variety of ethnicities represented in the food places. I've yet to explore them all.
