Putnam County, Administrative county in northern Missouri, United States.
Putnam County is an administrative county in northern Missouri covering a rural landscape of farmland, small towns, and waterways. Unionville serves as the county seat where government operations and administrative services are based.
The county was established in 1845 by the Missouri State Legislature from sections of Adair and Sullivan counties. It also incorporates remnants of the former Dodge County, which was dissolved following an 1851 Supreme Court decision.
Multiple municipalities within the county maintain local schools, libraries, and community centers that serve the educational needs of 4,681 residents.
Visitors can use Unionville as a starting point for accessing local facilities and government offices. The area is best explored by car since it is a sparsely settled region spread across open terrain.
The county borders Iowa directly, marking its position along Missouri's northern boundary. This location made the region historically a transitional area between two states.
