Keytesville is a town in Chariton County, Missouri, United States. The population was 471 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Chariton County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 Keytesville is the hometown of two notable American generals, Maxwell D. Taylor and Sterling Price.
==History==
The town is named for Englishman James Keyte, the town founder.〔 〕 Keyte, a Methodist preacher, purchased a large parcel of land in 1830 and, two years later, donated fifty acres of it to Chariton County for the purpose of establishing a centralized seat of county government.〔''Historical, Pictorial, & Biographical Record of Chariton County, Missouri'', Pictorial and Biographical Publishing Co., Salisbury Missouri, 1896〕 Prior to that time, the county business had been conducted from "Old Chariton," a small village near the confluence of the Chariton and Missouri Rivers. However, incessant disease-spreading mosquitoes and repeated river flooding necessitated a new location.
The first courthouse was constructed in Keytesville between 1833 and 1834. As a two-story, four-room brick building, it survived until September 20, 1864, when it was burned down by the Confederate raiders during the American Civil War.〔 James Keyte constructed the first home in Keytesville, and the first business as well. Both were log structures, with the second doubling as a post office. Keyte is also responsible for the town's first industry of any sort, when he constructed a mill near his home on Muscle Fork Creek.〔 Isaac Redding added a Keytesville's first hotel in August 1842. Keytesville was incorporated on February 3, 1868, by the state of Missouri, and incorporated as a Missouri 4th class city in March 1883.〔
