Knox County, County in northeast Missouri, United States.
Knox County is an administrative division in northeast Missouri composed of rolling countryside, farmland, and small waterways distributed throughout its terrain. Several communities within the county serve as local centers for residents and visitors traveling through the region.
Knox County was established on February 14, 1845, separated from Scotland County as the territory developed. The county takes its name from General Henry Knox, a leading military figure during the American Revolution.
