Ginlet, Missouri
Ginlet is an unincorporated community in Boone County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]
History
A post office called Ginlet was established in 1903, and remained in operation until 1907.[2] The community was said to be as small as a gimlet, hence the name (a postal error accounts for the error in spelling, which was never corrected).[3]
