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.
