Additional information about Sedalia, Missouri
Although there were bands of Shawnee in the vicinity of Sedalia when the land was first settled by Americans, historians believe the entire area was first occupied by the Osage (of historical American Indian tribes).
The area that became Sedalia was founded by General George Rappeen Smith (1804–1879), who went on to found nearby Smithton, Missouri. He filed plans for the official record on 30 November 1857, and gave the area the name Sedville.
The original plat included the land from today's Missouri Pacific Railroad south to Third Street. In addition, the version filed jointly by General Smith and David W. 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 in the west to Washington Street in the east. Smith and Bouldin anticipated that the city would grow North; however, it grew South. During the Great Depression, Sedalia was judged second most damaged economically, behind Gary, Indiana.
