The Chariton River is a 280-mile long tributary to the Missouri River in southeast Iowa and northeast Missouri The area was named after John Adair who was governor of Kentucky at the time.

Postmaster (or Postmistress) refers to the head of an individual Post office. A turkey is either of two extant Species of large Birds in the Genus Meleagris native to North America.

However, the grandson of Jesse Kirk reported that the town was named for Kirk's son John, a figure of local legend credited with killing two deer with a single bullet. "Hopkinsville" was explained as a joking reference to the peculiar gait of John Kirk's lame father-in-law, David Sloan; the jocular name was discarded when the village was selected for the seat of justice in Adair County (Kirksville Daily Express, March 20, 1941).

The Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad was a railroad that operated in the Midwestern United States. The Burlington Northern Railroad was a United States -based Railroad company operating between 1970 and 1996 The portion of the line that ran west of Kirksville towards Green City was abandoned and eventually torn down in the early 1950s. The portion of the line that ran east of town towards Edina, Labelle, and West Quincy was torn down in the middle 1970s.

During the summer of 1993, the railroad reopened to train traffic as the floods of the midwest affected lines around the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Trains continued to run the line until 1995. After failed attempts from buyers wanting to purchase the line and turn it into a shortline railroad, work began on tearing down the railroad from Moberly, MO northward toward La Plata, MO where it has a hookup with the BNSF Railway and from Moulton, IA southward toward La Plata, MO. The portion of the line from Moulton, IA northward towards Albia was purchased by the Appanoose County Community Railroad. The Appanoose County Community Railroad is based out of Centerville Iowa. In late September 1997, the tracks through Kirksville were finally torn down leaving the city without a rail line. The project to tear down the abandoned line was completed by the end of 1997.
