Welcome to the City of Lowry City
"Where the Ozark Mountains meet the Plains"
In older days Lowry City was also known as "The Pride of the Prairie"
The city was platted in March 1871 and named in May 1871 by John Hancock.
The post office has been in operation since 1871. J.P. Wright was the first postmaster.
Original homestead entry records from 1857 show where the original town was platted, was entered for homestead by Edwin Reed, John Barnett and Thomas N. Hensley.
Lowry City is defined less by boundaries on a map than by the sense of shared values our residents hold dear.
Small town values, guided growth, preservation of historical, cultural, and natural heritage are just a few of the core principles that makes the City of Lowry City a wonderful place to call home.
