Audrain county was the ~forty-sev-
enth county oragnized in the state
of Missouri. 1t was originally a por-
tion of st. Charles county. is area
consists of about 100000 acres. It is
bounded on the north by Monroe and
Rails ,on the east by Pike and Mont
gomery, on the south by Montgomery,
Galloway and Boone and IN the west
by Boone and Randolph counties. 1t
lies ON the divide between the Mis-
souri, and Mississippi rivers. Some Of
the streams heading M the county
flow into one river and some into the
other.
As the territory of St. Charles
county was sub-divided into other
counties by the territorial legislature,
and the general assembly Of the state
after the adoption of the constitution
of 1920, am unorganized piece of ter
titory surrounded by other counties
was left within tine boundaries of no
organized county. When Montgomery
county was oragnized December ID,
1918, the unorganized territory west
of lit was attached to that county for
military and civil purposes. Galloway,
county was organized December Ia,
however, in 1920, and for civil and
military purposes, parts Of what is
now Audrain county were attached to
them, and when Monroe county was

Of the county The act further pro-
v.ded that he courts, both county and
circuit, should be held at the house of
the said Edward Jennings in New
Mexico, Subsequently, the act was
amended changing the date of the
meeting to the first Monday of March,
1887.
The boundaries of the county as
originally laid off by the legislature
SO remained until 1912, when the leg
~islature passed am act further defin-
ing the boundaries of Monroe and
Audrain counties, and a strip of ter
ritory one mile wide, in al l~thirty-one
square miles was taken from the
southern part of Monroe and added
10 Audrain county. AS at that time
defined the boundaries of Audrain
county have ever since remained.
THE COUNTY SEAT
On April %, 1886, Robert C. Mans
field and James H. Smith, having en-
tered tn Gland upon which the original
town of Mexico was located, filed a
plat of the town at Paris, the county
seat of Monroe county and gave the
name of Mexico, in recognition of the
excitement at that time in this state
yer the growing controversy between
Mexico and the United States con
corning the independence of Texas.
These %proprietors thought that the
note of the name would bring pop
ularity to tehtown. There is no war;
rant for even having called the town
New Mexico except through the mis-
take of thelegislature in naming the
commissioners, yet in the records of
both the county and circuit courts for
two terms, the place is designated as
NEW Mexico. These records further
state that the commissioners to locate
the county seat met, and the first
courts were held at the house of Ed
I ward Jennings. The commissioners
met as directed by the Legislature and
located the county seat at Mexico, in
consideration of the donation of GER
tain lots and blocks TO the county, and
they further required an additional
donation which has ever since been
known as the donated or county addi-
4ion to the town. These donations
were accepted by the county and block
