How Kirkwood got its railroad name
The State Historical Society of Missouri keeps an old file of town names. It was gathered between 1928 and 1945. That file says the town was named for a man named Kirkwood, the first chief engineer of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. You can see the rail line on the map. It runs right past Kirkwood City Hall. The Kirkwood Missouri Pacific Depot sits at West Argonne Drive and Kirkwood Road. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
