Few communities in Missouri have a history as closely tied to the settlement of Clay County as Chandler. This small unincorporated community lies in rolling country northeast of Liberty, in a part of northwestern Missouri shaped by farms, wooded creeks and the broad Missouri River valley to the south. The Missouri River has long influenced travel, trade and agriculture throughout the county. Liberty, the county seat, is home to William Jewell College, founded in 1849. Chandler is best understood as a quiet local point on the rural fringe of the Kansas City metropolitan area rather than as an urban destination.
