Avenue City, Missouri

Avenue City is an unincorporated community in Andrew County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

History

A post office called Avenue City was established in 1878, and remained in operation until 1913.[2] The community takes its name from Frederick Avenue in St. Joseph, Missouri.[3] Originally located just west of the 102 River, Avenue included a telephone exchange and a few stores. Avenue City later became associated with two stores located east of the 102 River. Currently only one store remains, which includes a gas station and small grocery store.
