 Unlike most of the City of Topeka, North Topeka is served primarily by the Seaman USD 345 School District.The City of Topeka was actually incorporated in North Topeka.William Curtis (grandfather of Charles Curtis, who was born in North Topeka and went on to become Vice President of the United States under Hoover) and Louis Laurent laid out a town in 1865 that they called Eugene (possibly after a place in Indiana).
