LEE’S SUMMIT
Jackson and Cass County • Missouri Local
Town incorporated in November 1868
Lee’s Summit is a unique spelling for a city name. It’s because the spelling is unusual in that it uses an apostrophe. Apostrophes are typically not included in place names due to potential confusion regarding whether the place is owned by the namesake person.
Since the name was already being circulated and published with two “e’s”, the town petitioned the state legislature and incorporated its name in November 1868 as: “Town of Lee’s Summit”. Later, the city became known as the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
In 2006, CNN/Money and Money magazine ranked Lee’s Summit 44th on its list of the “100 Best Cities to Live in the United States”. That ranking improved to 27th on the 2010 list.
In addition to being a great place to live, it’s also a great place to start a new local business. Commercial development by local entrepreneurs expands new business footprints throughout an expanding local economy. Shop Local! Buy Local!
