Camden Point history, jobs and parks
A little history
Camden Point was founded in 1848 by teacher William Kincaid, who first called it Camden and added Point when he learned another Missouri town already had the name. Kincaid helped establish a female academy that later became coeducational, and after the Civil War became an orphan school until its building burned in 1889. On July 13, 1864, Union cavalry from the 2nd Colorado and 15th Kansas routed a Confederate force here in the Battle of Camden Point, and many of the town’s buildings were burned afterward. The six Confederate soldiers killed are buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery, which dates to 1847.

Camden Point is primarily a commuter town. Interstate 29 gives residents direct access to jobs in Kansas City and St. Joseph, and Kansas City International Airport is just minutes away.
