== History ==
Maryville was [[plat]]ted on September 1, 1845.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_RfAuAAAAYAAJ | title=How Missouri Counties, Towns and Streams Were Named | publisher=The State Historical Society of Missouri | author=Eaton, David Wolfe | year=1917 | page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_RfAuAAAAYAAJ/page/n107 336]}}</ref>

Maryville's name originates from the town's first postmaster, [[Amos Graham]]. Graham was one of the original settlers of what would later become downtown Maryville, and the city was named after his wife, Mary.<ref name="Mary Graham">[https://books.google.com/books?id=E30UAAAAYAAJ&dq=mary+graham+history+missouri&pg=RA1-PA236 A Biographical History of Nodaway and Atchison Counties Missouri], Compendium on National Biography, The Lewis Publishing Company, 1901. Retrieved September 6, 2009.</ref> In addition to his above historical role, Graham was also one of the original Nodaway County Commissioners and served as the first county clerk when the county was formally organized in 1845.  Maryville, which is near the geographic center of Nodaway County, was also named the county seat in the same year.<ref name="maryville.org">{{cite web|url=http://www.maryville.org/pview.aspx?id=22659&catid=507|title=Community History – Maryville, MO|website=Maryville.org|access-date=July 5, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://archive.org/stream/historyofnodaway00nati#page/308/mode/2up|title=The history of Nodaway county, Missouri, containing a history of the county, its cities, towns, etc., biographical sketches of its citizens|website=Archive.org|year=1882|access-date=July 5, 2016}}</ref> It has also been stylized as Marysville.<ref name="1860map">{{cite web|url=https://digital.lib.uiowa.edu/node/282723|publisher=S.

The first house in Maryville was built by Jack (John) Saunders, who was a large slave owner.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=E30UAAAAYAAJ&q=jack+saunders+maryville+missouri&pg=PA547 |title=A Biographical History of Nodaway and Atchison Counties, Missouri ...  |year=1901 |access-date=2020-05-09}}</ref> The first courthouse was built in 1846. Formerly, county government affairs would be held in the home of an early settler, I.N. Prather. An updated courthouse was constructed in 1853, the second of only three in the city's history. The current courthouse was built in 1881 with a design by [[Edmond Jacques Eckel]] and [[George R. Mann]]. Mann would later go on to design the [[Arkansas State Capitol]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://extension.missouri.edu/p/UED6073|title=UED6073 Nodaway County Courthouse – University of Missouri Extension|website=Extension.missouri.edu|access-date=July 5, 2016}}</ref> The courthouse is currently listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/79001386.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=March 20, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306202640/http://dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/79001386.pdf |archive-date=March 6, 2016 }}</ref> and is adorned with a sculpture of a [[pineapple]], the sign of welcome.

=== Missouri governors ===
In 1872 [[Albert P. Morehouse]] started the ''Nodaway Democrat'', which became the ''[[Maryville Daily Forum]]''.  Morehouse would become governor.  He lived in a house on Vine Street.  Coincidentally, the house would later be occupied by [[Forrest C. Donnell]] before Donnell became a governor and U.S. Senator.  The ''Forum'' was a chain-owned newspaper for nearly 100 years, and in 2013 it reverted to local ownership by the Cobb Group.{{citation needed|date=May 2020}}

In 1889 the Maryville Methodist Seminary opened.

In 1891 Elizabeth Howell (who operated Howell Millinery in Maryville) contributed to the development of the [[Lazy Susan]] when she received an American patent for "certain new and useful Improvements in Self-Waiting Tables". Howell's device ran more smoothly and did not permit [[Bread crumbs|crumbs]] to fall into the space between the Lazy Susan and the table.<ref>{{cite book|last=Howell|first=Elizabeth|title=Patent No. 464,073|year=1891|publisher=United States Patent Office|location=Maryville, Missouri|url=https://www.google.com/patents?id=lRViAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#v=onepage&q&f=false}}{{dead link|date=June 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

In 1894 [[Mary Augustine Giesen]] moved to Maryville and opened St. Francis Hospital.

=== Kentucky Derby connections ===
In 1901, the horse [[Elwood (horse)|Elwood]] was foaled at Faustiana Farms, owned by Mrs. J.B. Prather, on the west side of Maryville. It won the [[Kentucky Derby]] in 1904 and was the first Derby winner to be bred by a woman. Faustiana was located where the Maryville Country Club is today. Mrs. Prather also has connections with the second horse to be owned and bred by a woman to win the Derby – [[Black Gold (horse)|Black Gold]] in 1924, which was the great grandchild of Faustus, the namesake of the Faustiana farm.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pedigreequery.com/black%20gold|title=Black Gold Horse Pedigree|website=Pedigreequery.com|access-date=July 5, 2016}}</ref> Elwood and Black Gold are two of 10 Kentucky Derby winners with Nodaway County connections. Trainer [[Ben A. Jones]] won the Derby in 1938, 1941, 1944, 1948, 1949 and 1952. His son [[Horace A. Jones|Jimmy Jones]] won in 1957 and 1958. They operated a horse farm at [[Parnell, Missouri]] until their deaths (although their racing fame is tied to [[Calumet Farm]] in [[Kentucky]]).  Memorabilia from their horse racing days are St. Francis Hospital and at the [[Nodaway County Historical Society Museum]].{{citation needed|date=May 2020}}

=== Northwest Missouri State University founding ===
In 1905, Maryville won a contest to get the Fifth District [[Normal School]], which would become [[Northwest Missouri State University]]. It offered $58,672 and {{convert|86|acres|abbr=on}}, including the Methodist Seminary, to the state. The college was on the northwest corner of the city, nearly adjoining the Wabash train station. The most significant structure on the land transferred to the state was the Thomas Gaunt mansion, which is also on the National Register and is the college President's residence.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/79001385.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=March 20, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110523035857/http://www.dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/79001385.pdf |archive-date=May 23, 2011 }}</ref> Gaunt owned an extensive nursery on his property, which was on a birch-lined street and is now the [[Missouri Arboretum]]. The most recognizable building on the campus today is the Administration Building,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/10000504.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=March 20, 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150912111746/http://dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/10000504.pdf |archive-date=September 12, 2015 }}</ref> designed by [[John H.

=== 1931 lynching ===
In 1931, a notorious [[lynching]] occurred in Maryville when a mob of 2,000 to 4,000 people burned alive African American [[Raymond Gunn]],<ref name="theguardian1">{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/26/lynchings-memorial-us-south-montgomery-alabama |title=How white Americans used lynchings to terrorize and control black people  |work=The Guardian |date=April 26, 2018 |access-date=2020-05-09}}</ref> who was awaiting trial, charged with the attempted rape and killing of a 20-year-old white school teacher.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/9804179/raymond-gunn-did-not-murder-velma/ |title=Raymond Gunn did not murder Velma Colter. |newspaper=The Maryville Daily Forum |date=2017-03-25 |page=1 |access-date=2020-05-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Fear and frustration engulf Maryville | website=The Kansas City Star | date=19 October 2013 | url=https://www.kansascity.com/news/special-reports/maryville/article329897.html | access-date=1 August 2023}}</ref> One woman held her young girl up so the girl could get a better view of the naked man afire.

=== Herbert Hoover connections ===
In 1928 there was speculation that Maryville would become the "Western White House" for [[Herbert Hoover]] when it was discovered that he owned a farm 15 miles south of town.  The farm was actually only 80 acres and he had acquired it after holding the mortgage for his [[Stanford University]] Class of 1895 roommate Samuel Wilson Collins.  It was Iowa-native Hoover's only farm and Hoover visited it in 1933 after leaving office.  He was accompanied by his former Secretary of Agriculture [[Arthur M. Hyde]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/5119215/shamokin_newsdispatch/|title=Clipping from Shamokin News-Dispatch on Newspapers.com|newspaper=Shamokin News-Dispatch|date=August 11, 1928|page=8|access-date=July 5, 2016}}</ref> Hoover's vice president [[Charles Curtis]] visited Maryville on October 4, 1932 where spoke at the Administration Building after being rained out of a planned appearance at the Courthouse.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/5547651/vp_charles_curtis_speaks_in_maryville/|title=VP Charles Curtis Speaks in Maryville October 4, 1932 - on Newspapers.com|newspaper=The Maryville Daily Forum|date=October 4, 1932|page=1|access-date=July 5, 2016}}</ref>

=== Harry Truman connections ===
[[Harry S. Truman]] (along with [[Bess Truman|Bess]] and [[Margaret Truman]]) made the last of several visits to Maryville on August 3, 1962, when he dedicated the current post office.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://maryvillemo.wordpress.com/2012/01/04/truman-post-office/|title=Harry Truman Dedicates Maryville Post Office August 3, 1962|last=roger|date=January 4, 2012|website=Maryvillemo.wordpress.com|access-date=July 5, 2016}}</ref> Truman had extensive ties to Maryville.  During [[World War I]] Truman was a member of the [[129th Field Artillery Regiment]] in the [[Missouri National Guard]], which is headquartered in Maryville. Truman commanded Battery D in the war of the 129th. The 129th official motto is "Truman's Own" because of the affiliation. During the [[Meuse-Argonne Offensive]] during World War I in 1918, Truman prophetically told his troops, ""Right now, I'm where I want to be – in command of this battery. I'd rather be here than president of the United States."<ref>{{cite web |last=Kelly |first=Bethanne |url=http://www.military.com/Content/MoreContent/1,12044,MLtruman,00.html |title=Content |website=Military.com |access-date=July 7, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160408192001/http://www.military.com/Content/MoreContent/1,12044,MLtruman,00.html |archive-date=April 8, 2016 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Among the original 129th soldiers was Edward V.
