Early settlement in southwest Greene County centered on the community of Little York. When the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad built a line through the area in the early 1870s, Little York was not on the route. Settlement moved two miles away to Brookline, which was on the rail line's route.
A group of settlers decided to take up residency at another area along the tracks just four miles southwest of Brookline. This village eventually became known as Republic, and was incorporated in 1871. While the railroad did go through Republic, there initially was no switch or depot located in the city. A public subscription of $1000 raised the funds to build a depot in the city. Subsequent growth is attributed to the depot's completion.
"Name of Consolidated Municipality - The name of the consolidated municipality shall be "City of Republic." To help preserve the identity of the Village, the City will place signs with text "Village of Brookline" at the current corporate limits of the Village. Placement of signage is subject to State sign regulations when placed in State right-of-way. The City of Republic will work with the United States Postal Service to help preserve the history and operation of the Brookline Station Post Office.
While the Village of Brookline no longer exists as an independent, incorporated community, the post office and associated ZIP Code of 65619 remain in operation. In addition, BNSF Railway continues to designate Brookline as a station point on its network map and system timetables.
As a Border State in the American Civil War many of Missouri’s cities have a close history to the conflict. The area surrounding Republic was the site of the Battle of Wilson’s Creek and now works to preserve and commemorate the history of the battle. The battle of Wilson’s Creek was the first major battle fought west of the Mississippi River and a Southern victory. During this battle, Nathaniel Lyon was the first Union General killed in action to this point in the war. Now, the battlefield is a National Park and works to educate visitors on the history of the battle and the wider Civil War. These educational efforts include the preservation of the Ray House, public programs demonstrating Civil War medicine and artillery firing demonstrations, battle reenactments, and a Visitor Center & Museum.
