The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Everton was platted in 1881. The city was named by railroad officials in honor of a man with the surname Evert or Everett, but the identity of the namesake is unknown to the State Historical Society of Missouri. A post office called Everton has been in operation since 1881.
