Abstract
Unlike many other small towns in the Great Plains, Garden City, located in southwest Kansas, has experienced a rapid increase in population over the past ten years. Iowa Beef Packers opened the world's largest beef packing plant in Holcomb, seven miles west of Garden City, resulting in an influx of newcomers to the town, most notably more than two thousand Southeast Asian refugees.
