Raytown is named after a blacksmith - Mr. Ray - whose shop stood near the current center of town in the early 1800's. Raytown, like so many other small municipalities in this area, was located on a collector branch of the Santa Fe/Oregon/California Trail cluster, and so there was a need for such services.
