History
Comiskey was platted in 1887 and originally served as a whistle-stop of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. A post office existed in Comiskey from 1887 to 1929. In 1910, the community had a population of 28.Following the St. Louis Browns' victory in the 1886 World Series over the Chicago White Stockings, the Missouri Pacific Railroad honored several of the St. Louis players by naming some of their depots after the players. This community was named in honor of St. Louis Browns first baseman Charles Comiskey. The neighboring city of Bushong was named after Doc Bushong from the same team.
Comiskey Cemetery still exists, approximately north of the former community at an area southwest of the intersection of 100 Rd and U Ave.
