Platte City Attractions

The Platte Purchase, which was comprised of six counties, was added to Missouri in 1837. The site was officially named Platte City in 1839. During the Civil War raid of Colonel Morgan's men in 1861, several dwellings and churches were destroyed due to the strong southern sentiments in Platte City.

Platte City offers fishing, hunting, hiking, and wildlife viewing at Guy B. Park and Platte Falls Conservation Areas.
