The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Before Agency was a permanent settlement it was a ford of the Platte River. Agency was laid out in 1865. It was formerly the site of an agency of the Sac and Fox Indians, hence the name. A post office called Agency has been in operation since 1872. On Sunday, May 20, 1923, a Ku Klux Klan picnic held at Agency was attended by several thousand people. Speakers included Rev. Bloom, Rev. Smallwood, and Rev. Rendlemarr, all of Partee Park Baptist Church.
