A Quick History of Raymore, MO

Named after the original founders, George Rae and Henry Moore, Raymore was a late bloomer among the Kansas City metro cities. Prior to the Civil War, only three people lived in the prairie land with little natural resources. They platted the town in 1874 and incorporated it in 1877. The two men were key in getting the railroad to come through Raymore, leading to additional settlement and land use. After so much of Raymore was destroyed during Order No. 11, townspeople rebuilt and the town began to grow. The home of Dr. L.F. Gray, the first doctor, and postmaster in Raymore is still standing from when it was built in 1871. The Presbyterian Church built in 1876 is still used today as well. In 1887 the first official school building was constructed.

Raymore stayed small with under 1,000 until the 1970s when residential development occurred and brought the population to 3,100. Another major growth spurt took place in the 1990s and 2000s and brought the population to approximately 20,000 citizens on about 17 square miles of land. Located along I-71 and only 20 miles southeast of Kansas City, citizens benefit from a variety of housing options as well as the growing work and community opportunities both in Raymore and in surrounding areas.
