Located in Kansas City’s most accessible location, just off 670 highway and right between Kansas City, KS, and Kansas City, MO, the Stockyards District of the West Bottoms boasts a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1871. Originally covering 13 acres, it quickly expanded to 55 acres, becoming the second largest stockyards in the world, with Chicago's stockyards being the first.

In recent years, the Stockyards District has evolved into a thriving business community while still preserving its historic roots. The area is now home to a mix of modern businesses, including a wide range of restaurants and bars, an award-winning winery and tasting room, a local brewery, hundreds of small businesses (many housed in the Livestock Exchange Building), and creative workspaces, alongside preserved historical buildings and landmarks. This blend of old and new has made the Stockyards District a vibrant and dynamic part of Kansas City, attracting both locals and visitors alike.
