- Moondog (born in Marysville)
- Charlie Parker
- Billy Porter's nickname was "Kansas".

Frank Zappa about Kansas
From Mother In Lore, Zappa's interview in the January 5, 1974 Melody Maker:
"It was roughly the same thing that happened when surfing became a craze. There were people in Kansas that had woody wagons and a surf board and there wasn't even a lake!"
