Ferrelview history, jobs and parks
A little history
A post office opened at Ferrelview in 1925, and the community incorporated as a village in 1928. The name honors Mollie Ferrel Heady, a local landowner. The post office ran on its own until 1962 and offered full service until December 1981. In 2017 residents petitioned for a Missouri State Auditor review, and the 2019 audit and follow-up report led the board to tighten budgeting and reorganize village records.
Where people work
Kansas City International Airport, about 3 miles away, is the largest employer close to Ferrelview. Because the village is surrounded by Kansas City, residents can reach the airport business corridor along I-29 and jobs across the Northland in minutes.
Parks & outdoors
The village maintains its own City Park with a walking trail, governed by village park rules under Ordinance 369. Weatherby Lake and Lake Waukomis are each about 6 miles away.
