Community History

Early settlers in southwest Missouri were primarily of Scot, Irish, English, and Welsh descent. Settlers in the Willard area were no exception. The first families to settle in the area now known as Willard were George and Elizabeth Sloan, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Kime, and Oscar Farmer.
George Sloan arrived from Tennessee in 1857 and built the first Willard home in 1860; this home is still in use. The Dennis Kime family migrated from North Carolina in 1854. Oscar Farmer also moved from Tennessee to Cass County with his parents in 1836. He later traded his grist mill in Cass County to Sam Appleby for a farm at the edge of Willard. 
The Willard North Elementary and Intermediate schools are located on a portion of this land once owned by Oscar Farmer.
