Snyder is a small, quiet place located in the western part of Chariton County, Missouri, in the United States. It is not a city or a town with its own local government. Instead, it is known as an "unincorporated community."
Snyder can be found along Missouri Supplemental Route Z, which is a state road. It is about eighteen miles northeast of a larger town called Carrollton.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community like Snyder is a group of homes and sometimes businesses that are not officially part of a city or town. This means they do not have their own mayor or city council. Instead, they are governed directly by the county they are in.
- People living in unincorporated communities still get services like police and fire protection. These services are usually provided by the county government.
- They also follow the rules and laws set by the county.
Mail and Services in Snyder
Snyder once had its own post office where people could send and receive mail. However, that post office has now closed down. Today, residents of Snyder receive their mail from a nearby community called Triplett. This is common for smaller communities when their local services change.
