The square was surveyed and established in 1836 at the founding of Warrensburg, which took its name from resident Revolutionary War veteran Martin Warren. Structures on the square included the Courthouse, a jail, clerks' offices, a markethouse, and from time to time lawyers' offices. A well, sidewalks, and a fence also were constructed, and locust and maple trees provided shade.
