History

A post office at Hiattville was established in 1870. It was first called Pawnee, but later renamed Hiattville in honor of James M. Hiatt, who owned the town site.[2] The Sedalia branch Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad passed through Hiattville from the 1870s until the line was abandoned in 1988.
