Overland, Missouri

Overland is a city in St. Louis County, Missouri, United States.

 History 
People started living in the area in the early 1820s. People traveling west from St. Louis often stopped there for the night. This place became known as "The Overland Park". Daniel Boone built a small cabin in this area. It was near the place where Lake Sherwood and Wyland Elementary School are today.

Later, some businesses opened in the area. A one-room school called the Buck School was built in 1846. In 1867, the Ritenour School District was created. In 1919, the name of the town was changed to "Overland". This was done to avoid confusion with Overland Park, Kansas.
