Arley is an unincorporated community in Clay County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

History

A post office called Arley was established in 1893, and remained in operation until 1907.[2] The community was named after Arley Weber, a settler's son.[3]

The modern post office is a converted railroad tollbooth, originally constructed in 1905, which ceased operation due to the restrictions of the Wartime Prohibition Act.[4]
