Burdick is a census-designated place (CDP) in Morris County, Kansas, United States.
For many millennia, the Great Plains of North America was inhabited by nomadic Native Americans.
In 1803, most of the land for modern day Kansas was acquired by the United States from France as part of the 828,000 square mile Louisiana Purchase for 2.83 cents per acre.
From the 1820s to the 1870s, one of the most significant land routes in the United States was the Santa Fe Trail.
In 1863, Charles Atkinson witnessed a raid on this station conducted by approximately 600 Cheyenne Indians.
In 1859, Morris County was established within the Kansas Territory, which included the land for modern day Burdick.
