About Kirksville, Missouri

Kirksville is a city of 17,530 people and the county seat of Adair County. Before it had a plat, the spot went by Long Point and then Hopkinsville. The second name was a joke about the odd walk of David Sloan, the lame father-in-law of John Kirk. People dropped it when the village was picked as the county's seat of justice. The town was laid out on 40 acres in 1841 and first incorporated in 1857.

The Civil War reached the town from August 6 to 9, 1862. Union troops under John McNeil drove Confederate volunteers led by Joseph Porter out of Kirksville. Estimates of Confederate losses run from 150 to 200 killed, with as many as 400 wounded, while the Quincy Herald reported 8 Federal dead and 25 wounded. After the fighting, McNeil executed several prisoners who had been paroled earlier on a promise not to fight again. The act made him briefly famous across the country, and Jefferson Davis is said to have called for McNeil's execution if he were caught.

  • Turkey, whiskey and a nameJesse Kirk, the first postmaster, also opened the town's first hotel and tavern. Tradition says he fed surveyors working nearby a dinner of turkey and whiskey in exchange for naming the town for him. His grandson told it differently: the name honored Kirk's son John, a local legend said to have downed two deer with one shot. It has nothing to do with John Kirk, Truman State's president from 1899 to 1925.
  • The tornado of 1899An F4 tornado swept across Adair County late on April 27, 1899. Its path ran three blocks wide, and it leveled hundreds of buildings and left 34 people dead. The song "Just as the Storm Passed O'er" was written about the disaster. One Kimball piano was carried a long way by the wind and still played, and the Kimball Piano Company used that in its ads.
  • A town with three collegesTruman State University opened as North Missouri Normal School and Commercial College; it later took the name Northeast Missouri State University. A.T. Still University is home to the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, the first school of osteopathic medicine. Moberly Area Community College also runs a Kirksville campus.
  • The last rails, 1997The Wabash Railroad's north-south line through Kirksville joined the Norfolk and Western in October 1964 and Norfolk Southern in 1982. Its last official train ran in April 1992 before a planned abandonment, but the Midwest floods of 1993 brought trains back until 1995. Buyers failed to save the line, and in late September 1997 crews pulled up its Kirksville tracks, leaving the city with no railroad at all.
