What the record shows
The federal survey describes the site: Located in southern Pinckney Twp. on the bank of the Missouri R.
Founded in the abandoned town of Pinckney about 1885 and abandoned in 1911. The original town of Pinckney was laid out in 1819 and abandoned in the late 1820s. Pinckney was named for Miss Atossa Pinckney. The name Kruegerville was adopted for the second town for the many Kruegers in the neighborhood and because of the nearby Pinckney PO.
Kruegervilleappears in the U.S. Geological Survey's place-name archive as a historical populated place — a settlement that once carried a name and no longer does. Our editors are verifying its full story against census records, newspaper archives, and county histories; this record will grow as sources are confirmed.
Before you visit
Unverified sites may sit on private land, and coordinates from historical records can be imprecise. Verify land status and access before traveling. Take photographs, leave nails — removing artifacts from federal land is a crime.
