Did you Know?
Paola is a city in and the county seat of Miami County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 5,602. Paola is located at 38°34′25″N 94°52′24″W (38.573599, -94.873456). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.32 square miles (13.78 km2), of which 4.90 square miles (12.69 km2) is land and 0.42 square miles (1.09 km2) is water. Native Americans, then Spanish explorers such as Francisco Vásquez de Coronado in 1541, and French missionary explorers in 1673 lived and traveled throughout the area of what is now Paola. Despite these early European incursions at the start of the 19th-century the area was largely controlled by the Osage people. Settlement of the area primarily occurred however when Kaskaskia, Peoria, Wea, and Piankeshaw tribes were forced to move to the area between 1827 and 1832. These formed the Confederated Allied Tribe which was led by Baptiste Peoria who was of both French and Indian ethnicity. They called their settlement Peoria Village.
By the 1840s, Euro-American settlers were moving into the area, and several missionaries lived in and near “Peoria Village”. One of those missionaries was an Italian priest who moved to the area in 1852. The priest, Father Paul D. Ponziglione, was credited with renaming Peoria Village to Paola, after a small town on the coast of Calabria, Italy. The Peoria Indians of the area continued to call it Paola, because they had great respect for Father Ponziglione. By 1854 there was a large number of settlers who moved to the settlement and a town plat was laid out by 1855. In 1855, the First Territorial Legislature passed an act that incorporated the Paola Town Company. The Paola Town Company and specifically its member Baptiste Peoria with his wife Mary Ann Isaacs are credited as being influential in the founding and development of Paola through the mid-1860s. During the Civil War a military post was established on the west side of Bull Creek, just west of Paola. At times troops were inside Paola itself. Paola was barely spared an attack on August 21, 1863, by Confederate guerrilla William C. Quantrill during Quantrill’s retreat after raiding Lawrence. Paola was 10 miles (16 km) west of the retreat of Confederate Maj. Gen. Sterling Price’s force on October 24, 1864, while he was retreating toward Indian Territory. Paola’s post was deactivated in August or September 1865.
Following Kansas’ admission to the Union in 1861, and after the Civil War pressure to move the Native American tribes increased, and they were exiled to Oklahoma by 1868. Some individuals stayed and became citizens of the United States, however, their leader Baptiste Peoria left Paola with the tribe. From the late 1860s and through the 1870s, Paola grew and progressed, building its first school, jail, and bank. The railroad came to serve Paola in 1870, which also aided its progress through this time. Following the discovery of natural gas in 1882, Paola became the first town west of the Mississippi River to use it commercially and have the town illuminated using natural gas lanterns. In 1898 the Miami County Courthouse was built, designed by architect George Washburn. Several homes and buildings were designed by Washburn, including the Paola Park’s gazebo and the Paola Free Library. Martha Smith had the Paola Library building constructed in honor of her husband John, a wine maker. It was completed in 1906 and the Paola Park Square’s Victorian-style gazebo is from 1913. The library, courthouse, gazebo, and several homes are among those still in use today.
