Ocheltree, a village in the extreme southern part of Johnson county, is located on the St. Louis & San Francisco R. R. 7 miles south of Olathe, the county seat. The town was laid out by a company in 1867 and was recorded under the name of Spring Hill station. William Auld was the first settler. The postoffice was established in 1870, with J. M. Miller as the first postmaster. The first school house was moved into the town from the country and used until 1880, when a new structure was erected. At the present time the town contains an agricultural implement and hardware store, several general stores, has a money order postoffice, telegraph and express facilities, is a large shipping point and in 1910 had a population of 75.
