Just south of Highway 50, about midway between Sedalia and
Warrensburg, lies an often overlooked gem of the Missouri
state park system. Knob Noster State Park is an ideal spot for
relaxing and forgetting the cares of the world - even if just
for a few hours. The park is an interesting mixture of
prairie, savanna and forest, with 3,567 acres lying along both
sides of a meandering creek.
Knob Noster
is located on U.S. Highway 50, approximately 60 miles east of
Kansas City, Missouri. A short distance northeast of
town there are two hills, called knobs. The hills have
become a landmark for the community and are closely related to
the organization and background of the town.
According to historical information, the name Knob Noster is
taken from the hills. Knob, meaning the hills, and
"noster", being the Latin derivation meaning
"our", were formed together to create "Our
Knob", or Knob Noster.
