History

Although there were bands of Shawnee in the vicinity of Sedalia when the land was first settled, it is accepted as fact that the entire area was first occupied by the Osage. The Shawnee, or Shaawanwaki, Shaawanooki and Shaawanowi lenaweeki, are a people native to North America. [5]

The area that became Sedalia was founded by General George Rappeen Smith (1804-1879), who would later go on to found nearby Smithton, Missouri, when he lodged plans for the official record on 30 November 1857, and gave the area the name Sedville. Smithton is a city in Pettis County, Missouri, United States. [6]

In addition to the land from today's Missouri Pacific Railroad south to Third Street, the original plat of Sedalia filed jointly by General Smith and David W. The Missouri Pacific Railroad ( MoPac; AAR Reporting mark MP) was one of the First railroads in the United States west of the A plat consists of a Map, drawn to scale showing the divisions of a piece of land Bouldin (?-1893) on 16 October 1860, displayed the city spreading from Clay Street to the north and to Smith Street (i. e. , today's Third Street) in the south, and from Missouri Street the west to Washington Street in the east. Smith and Bouldin anticipated that the city would grow North; however, it grew South. [7]

Name

Until it was incorporated in 1860 as Sedalia, the city had on existed "on paper" (i. e. , from 30 November 1857 to 16 October 1860). Both Sedville and Sedalia were named after Smith's daughter, Sarah "Sed" Smith-Cotton. According to local lore, the town council changed the name from Sadieville to Sedalia in part because "towns that end in -ville don't amount to anything. " (Lawrence Ditton, Sr. ).

In 1856 General Smith bought the land upon which Sedalia now stands, and founded the city. The name was derived from that of his daughter Sarah, familiarly known as "Sed. " He remarked that he had previously named a flatboat for her elder sister, Martha. The name he chose was that of Sedville. He changed this to Sedalia,[8] following the suggestion of a friend, Josiah Dent, of St. Louis, who proposed Sedalia, closely resembling the Latin word Sedilia, meaning a seat, at the same time remarking that the change would be desirable for the reason the "General Smith designed the removal of the county seat to the new town. " The slight change from the proposed word was made for the sake of euphony. [9]

Sedalia had a population of around 300 people in 1860, and what Ihrig et al. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (reporting marks MKT) was incorporated May 23, 1870. (1960 p. 12) describe as a "bona fide population" of around 1,000 in 1865. [10]

According to Ihrig et al. , (1960 p. 123) Sedalia's population grew as follows:

Railhead

Following a victory for those proposing the "ridge route" for the railway, over those advocating the "river route", the railway eventually reached Sedalia in January 1861. [12]

Sedalia's early prosperity was directly related to the railroad industry with tracks and machine shops for the Missouri Pacific and the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad lines — the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad was most widely known as the KATY, from its K-T stock exchange code. The Missouri Pacific Railroad ( MoPac; AAR Reporting mark MP) was one of the First railroads in the United States west of the The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (reporting marks MKT) was incorporated May 23, 1870.

Sedalia was also an important railhead for the Texas cattle drive of 1866. A railhead is a terminus of a railway line that interfaces with another Transport mode, such as Shipping.

Chicago slaughterhouses were willing to pay almost any price [for beef] — longhorns were worth three to four dollars each on the Llano Estacado while in Chicago a steer was worth ten times that amount. Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States. A slaughterhouse, also called an abattoir (from the French verb abattre, "to strike down" or freezing works ( New Zealand The Texas longhorn is a breed of Cattle known for its Llano Estacado ( Sp /ˈʎano ˌestəˈkado/ " Palisaded Plains" is a region in the southwestern United States that encompasses parts of Eastern New It cost about a dollar per head to drive a herd northward to a railroad, and thus with these simple economics the ling drive and the cattle bonanza got its start. During the spring and summer of 1866 some 260,000 head followed the trail to Sedalia, Missouri, the terminus of the Missouri Pacific Railway" (McComb, 1989, p. 84).

Civil War

Sedalia was made a military post early in the war and remained such until its close in 1865. For this reason it was an active theatre of operations for military supplies and an objective point for capture by "the boys in grey". Confederate raids into Pettis County, and the offensive and defensive activities of Union troops against them, kept the inhabitants of Sedalia in [a] high state of excitement and the progress of the city was retarded [during that time]. The War Department was established by the Confederate Congress in an act on February 21, 1861. Pettis County is a County located in the US state of Missouri. The Union Army was the army that fought for the Union during the American Civil War. Sentiment in the county was about evenly divided. [13]

During the Civil War, despite the presence of the Union soldiers guarding the railroad, Sedalia was almost taken by the Confederate forces of Major General Sterling Price, when 1,500 of Shelby’s "Iron Brigade" cavalry associated with Price's Missouri Expedition surrounded Sedalia, overpowered the Union militia that were under the command of Colonel John D. Sterling Price ( September 20, 1809 September 29, 1867) was a lawyer politician and Militia General from the Joseph Orville Shelby ( December 12, 1830 &ndash February 13, 1897) was a noted Confederate Cavalry General The Iron Brigade, also known as the Iron Brigade of the West or the Black Hat Brigade, was an Infantry Brigade in the Union Price's Missouri Expedition, known popularly as Price's Raid, was an 1864 Confederate Cavalry raid through the Trans-Mississippi Theater in Crawford and Lieutenant Colonel John [?D. ] Parker, and began to loot and sack the town on 15 October 1864. [14]

Once General M. Jeff Thompson had actually arrived in Sedalia, he ordered his men to stop their destruction, and moved them on, leaving Sedalia once again in Union hands. Meriwether Jeff Thompson ( January 22, 1826 &ndash September 5, 1876) was a Brigadier general in the Missouri State Guard [15]

Whilst the Civil War delayed the building of the town, it also meant that Sedalia had been the terminus of the railroad for three years; and, once the war was over, many of the thousands of Union soldiers who had been stationed more or less permanently at Sedalia during the war, and who had soon recognized its potential, made the choice to migrate to Sedalia from their pre-war homes in other locations across the United States. [16]
