Versailles (/vɜːrˈseɪlz/ vur-SAYLZ)[6] is a city in Morgan County, Missouri, United States. The population was 2,539 at the 2020 census.[4] It is the county seat of Morgan County.[7]

History

A post office called Versailles, after the royal palace in France, has been in operation since 1835.[8] Versailles was not platted until 1854.[9]

The Martin Hotel, built in 1853, had such guests as the showman P. T. Barnum and outlaw robber Jesse James. Since the late 20th century, it has been operated as a museum. Both it and the Morgan County Courthouse are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The courthouse was designed in a French style.[10]

Versailles hosts an event known as the Old Tyme Apple Festival every year typically on the first Saturday of October.[11]

Dixon Ticonderoga, a pencil manufacturing company, had a plant in Versailles until it closed in 2005.[12]

Geography

Versailles is in eastern Morgan County. Missouri Route 5 passes through the western and northern sides of the city, leading north 17 miles (27 km) to Tipton and south 37 miles (60 km) to Camdenton. Missouri Route 52 joins Route 5 around the north side of Versailles, but leads southeast 17 miles (27 km) to Eldon and west 8 miles (13 km) to Stover.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Versailles has a total area of 2.40 square miles (6.22 km2), of which 0.004 square miles (0.010 km2), or 0.17%, are water.[2] The city sits on a ridge which drains north toward the Straight Fork, part of the Moreau River watershed, and south toward Little Gravois Creek, part of the Osage River watershed.
