| History of the Area |
The Cherokee word for valley of many deer is Chilhowee. One of the early settlers, James Simpson, happened here
by accident when a broken wheel disabled the pioneer from going any farther on the Old Fort Scott Road. Simpson
decided this was as good of a place as any and established a store, from his wagon, to aid passing travelers on
their way to Fort Scott, Kansas. Having left the Tennessee mountain town of Chilhowee in 1855, James decided on
this name because of the abundance of the wild animals in this area and memories of the town he left behind. Thus
was the beginning of the town, Chilhowee, Missouri.
