Schuyler County, County in northeastern Missouri, United States.
Schuyler County is an administrative division in northeastern Missouri with Lancaster as its county seat. The region spans multiple small towns and rural areas with open farmland and quiet communities.
The county was established in 1845 from territory taken from Adair County and named after General Philip Schuyler of New York. This formation reflected the territorial expansion and administrative reorganization that characterized Missouri in the 1800s.
The Schuyler County R-1 School District maintains educational facilities across multiple grade levels, forming the foundation of the local education system.
U.S. Route 63 and U.S. Route 136 serve as primary roads connecting the area to neighboring regions and services. Travel times to larger cities and medical facilities are manageable by car from most locations within the county.
The county borders Iowa to the north and ranks among Missouri's least densely populated areas with very few residents spread across wide open spaces. This sparse settlement pattern preserves a rural character throughout the region.
