An ideal rural Missouri Town on the north edge of Scott County. A view of the church in the center of town.
A small town in the south-central part of Kelso Township. A settlement was made here as early as 1850 or 1851, for the Eisleben Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized about that time. A post office was established in 1876, and the St. Augustine Catholic Church in 1878. The town was named for I.R. Kelso, one of the early settlers of the county. Kelso was incorporated as a town in 1904. The first mayor being A. L. Drury. Among the early settlers were John Blattle and Charles Roberts. The first merchants in the town were George G. Wright and A. Baudendistel.
