Gas, Kansas

You probably don't need us to tell you how Gas in Kansas got its name, but we're going to tell you anyway! In 1898, a local farmer by the name of E.K Taylor discovered natural gas on his property - and the rest is history. Gas became known as the place where natural gas was first discovered, and the small town was named after this very impressive and world-changing discovery.

And while many people choose to add Gas to their road pass itinerary, most people can't pass by this small town without cracking the joke, "Did you just pass gas?"
