History
Originally it was called Russellville which was first platted in 1856 by R. R. Russell. Later, the name was changed to Quitman in honor of John A. Quitman, a strongly pro-slavery former governor of Mississippi, leader of the Fire Eaters, and veteran in the Mexican–American War. The city was incorporated on February 8, 1881 when it was a stop on the Nodaway Valley Railroad (which was building the railroad for the Kansas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs Railroad that eventually became part of the Burlington Northern network. The railroad no longer continues.
In November 2012, the Nodaway County Commission voted to disincorporate Quitman after local residents asked for it.
