Coffeyville Wedding

Coffeyville is a city situated along the Verdigris River in the southeastern part of Montgomery County, located in southeast Kansas, in the central United States. The population was estimated to be 10,359 in the year 2005.[2] It is the most populous city of Montgomery County.

Coffeyville is home to online retailer Amazon.com's largest distribution center, leased in 1999. It was opened in a facility previously operated by Golden Books.

Founded in 1869 as an Indian trading post by Col. James A. Coffey, serving the population across the Oklahoma border in what was then the Indian Territory, the town was confirmed and expanded by the arrival of the Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galveston railroad in 1871.

Incorporated in 1872, the charter was voided, and the city was re-incorporated in March of 1873.

Coffeyville's most famous moment may have been the end of the Dalton Gang: on October 5, 1892, four of the gang were killed and the fifth wounded and imprisoned. They had been attempting to rob two banks, First National Bank and Condon Bank, at once when the citizens rose up and fought them. Four citizens, including a U.S. marshal, died in defense of the town.
