History

The town was platted in 1820 and was originally called “Osceola;” however, there was already a town of that name in the state, and so the name of Advance was chosen “in anticipation of the advancement which the coming of the Midland Railway would bring to the community”. One of the few streets in town, Wall Street, was named after Joe Wall whose family owned over 2,000 acres (8.1 km) surrounding the town until 1971.

On May 13, 1995, a tornado struck the town of Advance, causing $2,000,000 worth of damage. This was part of a series of tornadoes that struck the Midwest.
