From a local resident:
The correct pronunciation of Arkansas City, Kansas is very important to the folks in Kansas, as well as the city itself. It is NOT pronounced the way the state south of Missouri is, "Are-kan-saw City", but rather like the state of Kansas, as in "Are -kan-sus City". The river that flows through the state of Kansas is also pronounced this way, as in the "Are-kan-sus River". I was born in Ark City (an easier way to identify the city) in 1954 and like to tell others that I was "3 miles away from being an Okie" since Ark City is just that far away from the Oklahoma state line.
