The handbook of French place names in the U.S.A., p. 133. ''Onomastica'', Issue 51. Editions des Deux Mondes</ref> During the period prior to 1900, Revere flourished as an intermediate stop for the railroad.<ref name="higgins">Higgins, Charles A. (1894).

In 1898, J. H. Talbott of Luray started the ''Revere Weekly Current'',<ref>Revere Weekly Current (Revere, Mo.) 1898–1901, [https://www.loc.gov/item/sn90061375/ Library of Congress]</ref> a weekly newspaper that consisted of five pages of world and local news including advertisements, train schedules and local markets. Circulation closed on July 18, 1901, when Talbott left for law school.

Located at the former site of the Revere Methodist Church, Ar-Del Park was dedicated on May 30, 1946, as a memorial to Revere natives John Arnold Wallace and Delmar Brown, who died serving their country during [[World War II]].<ref>MOGEN list of notable persons, [https://web.archive.org/web/20160728140429/http://www.mogenclark.com/people/p302.htm#i1074 Revere's Ar-Del Park Honors Men Killed in WWII.]</ref>  A large boulder with a plaque dedicated to all Clark County veterans is located in the park.

In 1925, a new building was dedicated for grades K–12.  In 1988, the graduating class had two students.  After several years of declining enrollment the final high school class graduated in 2002 with five students.  The building was then used for K–8 students, with grades 9–12 attending Clark County R-1 high school in [[Kahoka, Missouri|Kahoka]]. Continued declining enrollment led to a vote in April 2012 that resulted in the decision to close the school and annex it to the Clark County R-1 school district effective July 1, 2012.<ref name="voteresult2">[https://khqa.com/news/local/a-rural-school-district-will-become-a-part-of-history "A rural school district will become part of history"] Retrieved 2023-12-05.</ref>

Despite having one of the smallest high school enrollments in the state of Missouri, the purple and white Bulldogs fielded four Missouri State High School Athletic Association state-qualifying teams. Baseball teams from 1977, 1981 and 1982 and the 1997 girls' basketball team reached the state playoffs.<ref name="loc1">[https://archive.org/details/missouri-high-school-state-championships "Missouri State High School Athletic Association State Championships by Sport"] [[Missouri State High School Activities Association|&nbsp; Missouri State High School Athletic Association]] Retrieved 2023-12-04</ref>
