Nodaway County,
Missouri
County organized in 1845.
Named
after the Nodaway River.
The County seat is
Maryville.
Maryville was organized on February
14, 1845.
It was named after the first Caucasian women to have
lived within the boundaries of this site, Mrs. Mary Graham, wife of
Amos Graham, then county clerk.
Is situated in what is known
as "The Platte Country," in the northwestern part of the
State.
It embraces both prairie and timber; the soil is fertile,
undulating, and some portions broken.
As to fertility, the soil
is hardly surpassed in the State.
The county is well watered by
the Platte, Hundred-and-Two, and Nodaway, each affording excellent
water power for manufactories and mills. Farmers, stock
growers, manufacturers and mechanics will here find attractive
inducements for investment and business.
Population in 1860,
5,136.
