Parkerville, an incorporated city of the third class in Morris county, is located in Parker township on the Neosho river and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas R. R., 12 miles northwest of Council Grove, the county seat. It has telegraph and express offices and a money order postoffice with one rural route. The population, according to the census of 1910, was 157. Parkerville was incorporated in 1871 and began a spirited contest to become the county seat. The first trustees were, C. G. Parker, J. A. Rodgers, G. W. Clark, H. Daniels and W. M. Thomas, the incorporators of the town. The next spring an election was held for town officers and J. A. Wallace was chosen the first mayor.
