Canton, United States

Canton, Kansas connects to 3167 other places across 10 topics through 36 Bunkabop connections, anchored in railroad history and a brief moment of national media attention. Its transportation ties trace through the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway to the Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific lines. In 2008, Stephen Colbert singled out Canton on The Colbert Report, prompting Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius to respond, weaving this small Marion County town into a months-long television running gag. Most of its strongest co-connected places are neighboring small Kansas towns along the same rail and regional history threads.
