Thanks to the Young Brothers Massacre of 1932 where six police officers were mown down, Republic spearheaded a national change in law enforcement procedures when responding to armed stand-offs.
Republic, MO has always maintained a fierce, pioneering spirit. Located in a remote section of southwest Missouri, in the Northern Ozarks, this 5.6-square-mile town of nearly 16,000 started out as an early outpost for immigrants moving West in search of homesteads. When the Battle of Wilson's Creek broke out three miles from Republic during the Civil War, a marketplace was set up in nearby York to supply the Union and Confederacy. Before the railroad, the only way to get to Republic was by horseback or covered wagon. After the war, the Frisco Railroad Company expanded track through Republic, but refused to build a depot. To solve the problem, Republic raised its own funds and built a station itself. View Republic City Guide
