Dodge City
Kansas cowboy capital
Dodge City is a city in southwestern Kansas, historically a cattle town on the Santa Fe Trail.
Its reputation for frontier lawlessness—gunfights, saloons, and figures like Wyatt Earp—made it synonymous with the Wild West.
The phrase get out of Dodge means to leave quickly, escaping trouble or an unpleasant situation.
