About Orrick, MO

The first community in the area was Albany when it was established by Ely Carter in 1854. When he applied for a Post Office it was denied because there was another Albany, Missouri already in the state and he used the name of his wife Ada for the post office but still continued to call the town Albany. "Bloody Bill" Anderson was killed during the American Civil War during the Battle of Albany on October 24, 1864. Albany formally incorporated in 1871 however by then St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Star railroad (the Wabash Railroad) laid tracks a mile south in 1868 and 1869 and a new community of Orrick sprung up around them.
