Nevada, MO history
Nevada, Missouri Directory for 1905
| Nevada, Missouri, located in
Vernon County, on the Kansas border, between Joplin and Kansas City, was
the subject of a city directory in 1905.
The volume, of around 180 pages, presents a picture of a rather cosmopolitan
community on what just a few years earlier was the frontier.
Today, it is an important source document for any historian of the
frontier, for local historians, and particularly for family historians
and genealogists.
At the time this directory was
published, Nevada, MO was the location of Cottey College, a
college and conservatory for young women, and of one of Missouri's
largest insane
asylums (as well as two private sanitaria). The community was
also served by two railroads,
at a time in history where rail service was vital to the health of a
community.
Nevada, in 1905, was clearly an up-and-coming community.
