Holt County, Administrative county in northwestern Missouri, United States.
Holt County is an administrative county in northwestern Missouri, stretching across rolling hills and river valleys. The landscape consists mainly of farmland and natural waterways shaped by the Missouri River.
The county was established in 1841 during Missouri's westward expansion period. Its name honors a state legislator who played a role in the region's early settlement and development.
The Holt County Historical Society maintains research centers and museums in multiple locations, preserving documents and artifacts from the region's settlement period.
Interstate 29 runs through the county from north to south, providing road connections to larger nearby cities. The Missouri River offers additional opportunities for outdoor activities and exploration.
The Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge provides a critical stopping point for thousands of migratory birds, particularly bald eagles during winter months. Visitors can observe these birds in their natural habitat during their seasonal travels.
