On February 12, 1892 a petition was presented to the County Court of Clark County Missouri in hopes of advancing Wyaconda from a village to a town.
55 out of 66 "taxable inhabitants" of Wyaconda signed this petition and so the town of Wyaconda was established.
Their hopes were to "be incorporated under the name and style of the Inhabitants of the Town of Wyaconda in order that a police may be established for our local government. That the commons appertaining to such town may be preserved and regulated and that such local laws may be enacted as shall be for the preservation of law and order within such Town."
The very first Ordinance passed was an ordinance to fix the time and place of holding meetings of the Board of Trustees. This ordinance was passed on March 8th, 1892 by T.M.Wood - Chairman. There would be 13 Ordinances passed under Chairman T.M. Wood. All of which were passed on March 8th, 1892.
For the next 7 years Ordinances 13-24 were passed by 7 different Chairmen.
