Bates City, Missouri

A description of Bates City from 1910:

"Bates City, in the southwestern part of Clay township, was platted in 1878 on the line of the Alton railroad, and the next year a postoffice was established, J. F. Eneberg being the first postmaster. The first house was built by L. B. Kelley, while Mr. Eneberg started the first store. An eight-hundred-dollar school house was erected in 1881 and the first teacher received twenty-five dollars per month. The first regular physician was Dr. M. W. Flournoy.

    Bates City today consists of the following interests: The ordinary shops and smaller places of business, with two good-sized general merchandise stores. It is situated on the electric trolley line being constructed from Kansas City to St. Louis."  (from Young's History of Lafayette County, Missouri, William Young, B. F. Bowen & Co., Indianapolis, 1910)
