History The town was settled in the early 1870s and was originally known as Pax, then later as Belle Plaine. It was incorporated in 1896 and renamed in memory of its founder, Capt. Greene C. Stotts, who died in 1876. Stotts held a command in the US Army during the Civil War, distinguished himself while in charge of the 15th Missouri Cavalry, Company C, and later served in state legislature. The Army is the branch of the United States armed forces which has primary responsibility for land-based military operations. ...

In its heyday, Stotts City was home to several banks, a large hardware store, The Farmers Exchange Co-op, a cooperative enterprise of the local grain and dairy farmers, a school and numerous churches, and even had a volunteer brass band and a newspaper, The Stotts City Sunbeam, published from 1901 until the end of 1907.
Soon after the end of World War I, the demand for lead ore from the Lawrence County Land & Mining Company subsided, as groundwater issues made it increasing difficult and expensive to mine. With a depressed agricultural industry in the 1920s, the 1929 stock market crash and Great Depression, Stotts City suffered a reduction in population, a loss of retail businesses and closure of its one remaining bank. By 1945, the Stotts City mines were closed. “The Great War †redirects here. ...

Vernon and Center streets, still stands; a relic of the late 19th century, as does the old native-stone schoolhouse and First Baptist Church, both built in 1898.
