Ellisville History

Ellisville was incorporated as a village in 1932 and then as a city in 1957, but was settled early in the 1800's. The first resident of the area that would eventually be known as "Ellisville" was Captain James Harvey Ferris who came from Kentucky and settled in the area that is southwest of the intersection of Kiefer Creek Road with Manchester Road. The brick home he built using bricks made by the slaves he owned, would later be sold many times to men whose names can still be found in the area today. Some of those names are Vespasian Ellis, Samuel Wilson, Major Clarkson, Captain Benjamin F. Hutchinson and John William Henry Rasch.
