  History of the  City of Maize, Kansas
They, and the other pioneers of Maize, came despite the presence of the Osage Indians, who were the original occupants of the region and were not yet completely willing to give up the land.
In the 1860s, only a few miles from what would be Maize, these Indians killed the first white settler to Sedgwick County, John Ross, and in 1867 the Osage had conducted a series of raids in Kansas reacting to the building of the Union Pacific railroad.
In 1915, the Maize Town Company was dissolved and on the 31st of May Maize was incorporated as a City of the Third Class.

Whether your Maize tiling needs involve a mosaic on your kitchen wall, floor tile for your dining room, or a stone- or marble-slab outdoor walkway, using a Maize tile contractor is often the best option when choosing and installing tile.
With tiling options include a wide variety of materials--glazed, paver, polished, porcelain, mosaic, and ceramic tile to name a few--and an even wider range of uses, style selection can often be too overwhelming to sort through yourself.
Without a Maize tile contractor, homeowners often unknowingly choose from a smaller selection than is available, and sometimes end up with a tile that doesn't fit the project's needs.
