History

The city of Uncertain was incorporated in 1961 as a Type B general law city, with a mayor and five aldermen on an at-large basis.

Uncertain has been noted for its unusual place name. According to tradition, the town derives its name from the original application for township where the name for it had not been decided. Therefore when the original residents filled out the application they put “Uncertain” in the blank for the name. When the township was given, it then became “Uncertain”.
