Macon County, located in the great state of Missouri, was established on January 6, 1837. It was named in honor of Nathaniel Macon, a prominent North Carolina statesman and former Speaker of the House of Representatives. The county was carved out from a part of Chariton County and, later on, some extensions from Linn and Shelby counties were added.
The area was initially inhabited by various Native American tribes such as the Osage, Missouri, and Fox, who eventually left due to increasing conflicts with European settlers. Eventually, pioneers made their way into the region, with settlements in the area initiated by James Coppedge in 1829. As more settlers arrived, agriculture became the backbone of the economy, and numerous mills were established in the county.
The county seat, Macon, was founded in 1856 and named after Nathaniel Macon, the same gentleman the county was named after. Throughout the years, Macon County has continued to rely primarily on agriculture, with corn, soybeans, wheat, and livestock production being the main sources of income for the residents.
Fun fact: The city of La Plata in Macon County was important for train travel during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. La Plata was a hub and the second most important refueling and crew change stop on the entire route of the Wabash Railroad, which was a 640-mile long rail route that provided freight and passenger services throughout the Midwest and Northeastern United States.
