Historical Townships of Jefferson County, Missouri
Information Compiled by Mona Houser
Page Compiled by John W. Pierce
The table below was created from information in a July, 1999, note from Ms. Mona Houser to the Jefferson County, Missouri, mailing list. This sort of information is very difficult to obtain when you're 1500 miles from the source. Ms. Houser's generosity in providing it well illustrates the spirit of friendliness and cooperation that permeates the list. Ms. Houser's comment about the township names: "It is a listing of the Township and Range numbers and what Political Township (Precinct) they were in. The political townships were changed about 10-15 years ago, but I am using the more historical names here. I don't have a map that shows exactly where the old political boundaries are, so please use this only as a guideline."
Within political townships, the survey townships are listed from northwest to southeast.
