Lodi is a small, quiet place in Wayne County, Missouri, United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of the larger county. It does not have its own separate local government like a city or town.
Where is Lodi Located?
Lodi is found in the southeastern part of Missouri. It sits right next to a stream called Bennett Creek. This creek flows into the bigger St. Francis River, which is just west of Lodi.
If you travel on U.S. Route 67, you'll pass right through Lodi. It's about thirteen miles northeast of a town called Piedmont.
Nearby Nature Spots
Lodi is surrounded by some cool natural areas. To the northeast, you can find the Coldwater Conservation Area. This is a place where nature is protected. Across the St. Francis River to the west is Sam A. Baker State Park. This park is a great spot for outdoor activities.
How Lodi Got Its Name
Lodi has had a post office serving its community since 1892. The name "Lodi" likely came from a city in Italy. People often named new places in America after places they remembered from other countries.
