Palo Alto –
The village of Palo Alto was situated within the original limits of Chickasaw County. It was a place of some
note at the close of the War between the States. When Clay county was organized in 1871, Palo Alto fell within
its bounds and was absorbed by the more enterprising town of Abbott.
