# Lake Mykee Town, Missouri

Lake Mykee Town was a village in Callaway County, Missouri, United States. The village government dissolved on June 1, 2017, and the land area annexed into Holts Summit, Missouri. Because of this, Lake Mykee no longer exists, and the former village is now referred to as Holts Summit. The population was 350 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Jefferson City Metropolitan Statistical Area.

## Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.25 square miles (0.65 km$^2$), of which, 0.19 square miles (0.49 km$^2$) of it is land and 0.06 square miles (0.16 km$^2$) is water.
Lake Mykee was developed by the Hasselman family on the site of their original farm. "Mykee" is an acronym for the names of their two sons.
The development of Lake Mykee resulted in the relocation of the expansion of Highway 54 east of the lake and dam in the 1970s from the route of Old Highway 54 to the current route in order to provide four lanes without cutting off the subdivision entrance and to avoid the lake.

## Demographics

In 2004, the 130-acre (0.53 km$^2$) parcel directly south of Lake Mykee owned by Delbert Payne and his family since 1928 began to be developed into a new, unrelated subdivision named Southwind Meadows. Streets for an initial plat of 24 lots were poured in late 2004 and early 2005 by Stockman Construction and accepted by Callaway County. By the end of 2007, five houses were substantially complete. By the time of the Great recession, houses had been built and occupied on 9 of the 24 lots. Between spring of 2017 and the end of 2019 an additional 10 homes were built. The subdivision has electricity and gas from Ameren, water from Callaway Water District #1, and a dedicated sewer treatment plant maintained by Missouri American Water.
