History
A post office was established in 1889 or earlier, and was named "Cassity" after the postmaster, T.N. Cassity.[1][2] Because the name was similar to "Cassidy", a post office in southern Missouri, the name was changed to "Marmaduke", after Confederate general John S. Marmaduke.[1][2] That name was too long for the postal ring or stamp, and again needed to be changed. Cassity's wife suggested "redtop", which was a type of grass (Agrostis gigantea) which grew in a large field behind the store in which the office was housed, and which had a reddish color when ripe.[2]
The post office was later moved to U.S. Route 65.[2]
