Knoxville, Missouri

Knoxville is an unincorporated community in Ray County, in the U.S. state of Missouri and part of the Kansas City metropolitan area.[1]

History

Knoxville was founded in the 1830s.[2] A large share of the early settlers being natives of Tennessee caused the name of Knoxville, after Knoxville, Tennessee, to be selected.[3] A post office called Knoxville was established in 1838, and remained in operation until 1904.[4]

gollark: There are various problems with this:- massive increase of complexity in guns- you would need to recharge it constantly, and it would need batteries and such, and would generally be a hassle- GPS spoofing (possibly just jamming, depending on design) would stop guns working- people could probably just remove the geofencing bit- how are you planning to keep the "do not shoot here" lists updated on all of them?
gollark: I sent this mere *hours* ago.
gollark: Does the particular context of it change the meaning much? Or imply that you should only do that sometimes?
