Brief
History:
Platte County is a county
located in the northwestern portion of the
U.S. state of Missouri and is part of the
Kansas City metropolitan area.
Its county seat is Platte City. The county
was organized December 31, 1838, from the
Platte Purchase, named for the
Platte River.
Platte is derived from the French
word for a low, shallow, or intermittent
stream. The Kansas City International
Airport
is located in the county,
approximately one mile west of Interstate
29 between mile markers 12 and 15. The
land for the
airport was originally in an
unincorporated portion of Platte County
before being annexed by Platte City, and
eventually
Kansas City.
