What are the smallest towns in Missouri?

The Show-Me State is home to many a small town, as evidenced by this list we put together. (In fact, just about half of Missouri’s population (roughly 6.1 million residents) lives within the St. Louis and Kansas City metro areas. So, if you’re doing the math, that means that the other half of Missouri’s population can be found in small towns scattered throughout the rural countryside!) For the list we put together, our criteria for “small town” was that the population needed to be below 20,000. Obviously, there is a big difference between the lowest population listed here (Arrow Rock, population 36) and the highest listed here (Rolla with a population of around 20,000). Throughout Missouri, you will find these smaller towns rich in history and featuring much to do; these winsome little towns really do form the fabric of the incredible Show-Me State!
