==History==
Martin City was originally was platted as Tilden in 1887 by E.L. Martin and John H. Lipscomb. It was named for Samuel Jones Tilden, a presidential candidate who was defeated by Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876. The name was changed in 1895, because there was another town of Tilden in Dallas County. The name "Martin City" came from Edward L. Martin who came to Missouri in 1868 at the age of 26. Martin was famous for organizing the Kansas City Distilling Company, and E. L. Martin & Co. wholesale liquor, as well as serving as the mayor of Kansas City in 1873. During Prohibition, there was drugstore in Martin City where customers could purchase moonshine through a window in the back of the store. The dry goods store had a dance hall upstairs where children and adults could roller-skate. This was the only building of it's kind for over 100 miles between Kansas City and Little Rock, Arkansas. This drew travelers from all over Missouri, resulting in a boom in the town's infrastructure. Although business slowed down after prohibition, a prominent stop on the Kansas City Southern Railroad near a local sawmill kept the economy running.
