Title: Pacific,
Missouri Depot
Creator: Unknown
Description: The
railroad depot at Pacific, Missouri used
by the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway
Company. This town was called Franklin
when laid out in November 1852. Seven
years later, when the town was incorporated
the name was changed to Pacific, for
the Pacific Railroad, then being laid
across
Missouri to Kansas City. The change in
name undoubtedly was occasioned by the
necessity of avoiding conflict with other
towns with the same name. (The |
present
Franklin, Missouri, is north of Boonville on
the other side of the Missouri River.) (—The
Empire that Missouri Pacific Serves, p.
238.)
