City insight: Lawrence

Lawrence is a city and the county seat of Douglas County in northeastern Kansas, and it is the state's sixth-largest city. It lies between the Kansas and Wakarusa rivers and is a college town, home to the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University. The climate is continental, with hot, humid summers and cold winters, so spring and autumn are the best seasons to race.
