Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Toledo is a small, quiet place in Callaway County, Missouri. It's not a city or a town with its own government, but rather an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and perhaps a few businesses that are part of the larger county area, rather than having their own mayor or city council.

You can find Toledo along routes JJ and UU. It's about six miles (or about 9.6 kilometers) east of a bigger town called Fulton.

History of Toledo

Toledo once had its own post office. This post office opened in 1887, which was a long time ago! It helped people send and receive letters and packages. However, it didn't stay open forever. The post office closed in 1905.

The reason why this community was named Toledo isn't completely clear today. Sometimes, places are named after famous cities, people, or local features, but the story behind Toledo's name has been lost over time.
