History
The area was first settled by Civil War veteran Perry "Frank" Everts when he bought 80 acres (32 ha) of land. When the community began to grow in 1870, it was named after him but misspelled. The misspelling of "Evart" was made official when a post office was first established here on August 16, 1870. Orlando Windsor served as the first postmaster. Evart was platted in 1872 by James Kennedy and Delos Blodgett, and the community incorporated as a village the same year. It later incorporated as a city in 1938.
The Evart Downtown Historic District was included on the National Register of Historic Places on August 11, 2025 and is the county's only listing on the national registry.
