Elkhorn, Missouri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elkhorn is an unincorporated community in southwest Ray County, in the U.S. state of Missouri[1] and part of the Kansas City metropolitan area.

The community is on Missouri Route 10 approximately six miles east-southeast of Excelsior Springs in adjacent Clay County. The headwaters of Keeney Creek are one-half mile north of the community.[2]

History

Elkhorn was platted in 1837, and according to one tradition, so named on account of an elk horn discovered at the town site.[3] A variant name was "Crab Orchard".[1] A post office called Elkhorn was established in 1835, the name was changed to Crab Orchard in 1843, and the post office closed in 1904.[4]
