History

A post office called Hartville has been in operation since 1842. The community was settled in the early 19th century and bears the name of Isaac Hart, a pioneer citizen.

Much of the town was destroyed during the Battle of Hartville in 1863. Lt. Col. John Wimer of the Confederacy, who had served two nonconsecutive terms as mayor of St. Louis, was killed in the battle and was buried at Hartville.

The Grovespring Tornado in 1959 destroyed most of Hartville’s business district, including the post office. There were no major injuries since a warning alarm had given the citizens time to take cover.

Kelton House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
