Did you know? Platte County, MO was organized on December 31, 1838 and is over 175 years old.

Previously, Platte and Buchanan counties had been part of Clay County until an act by the Missouri legislature separated and created the new boundaries after the Platte Purchase of 1836.

In honor of National Volunteer Week the City of Parkville would like to recognize Glen McKahan!
