| Chetopa is located in southeastern Labette,
[LB], county at the intersection of highways US59 and US166. The
Neosho River forms the east boundary of town and is famous for
its fishing, especially for catfish. The valley of the river is
also perfect for pecan trees; pecan groves surround the town and
harvesting pecans is a major local industry. Chetopa is named for a chief of the Osage Indians. Dr. George Lisle formed the Chetopa Town Company in 1868 and purchased the townsite from the federal government. The MKT railroad came to Chetopa in 1870. |
