About Cosby

Tucked away in northwest Missouri just northeast of St. Joseph, Cosby is a quiet village of around a hundred residents. The community got its start in the late 1870s and took its name from the first baby born in the settlement, Cosby Miller. When the tracks arrived in 1885, the entire town actually moved a mile down the road to sit right along the rail line. Today, it offers peaceful countryside living with an easy drive to neighboring cities.
