Ladore, a station on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas R. R. near the southern boundary of Neosho county, is located in Ladore township 13 miles south of Erie, the county seat, and 5 miles south of Galesburg, whence it receives daily mail by rural route. The population in 1910 was 50. Had the early settlers been willing to part with their lands at a reasonable figure, the company which established the city of Parsons would have located their town at this point instead. The town was first called Fort Roach, in honor of J. N. Roach, its principal promoter. In the early days it was an important little town but gave way to Parsons after the latter was founded.
