Audrain County, Administrative division in central Missouri, US
Audrain County is an administrative division in central Missouri containing eight municipalities, with Mexico serving as its county seat. The region encompasses farmland, small towns, and rural areas that together form a typical Midwest landscape.
Audrain County was established in 1836 and named after Colonel James Hunter Audrain, a veteran of the War of 1812. The creation of this administrative unit shaped early settlement patterns in central Missouri.
The Missouri Military Academy and Audrain County Historical Society maintain educational and heritage preservation programs for the local community.
Visitors can explore county services and infrastructure by traveling between the different municipalities scattered across the region. Spring and fall offer the best conditions for exploring, as the weather is mild and the landscape reveals its agricultural character.
The region has become a center for biofuel production, hosting major processing plants like Poet Biorefinery Laddonia. These facilities have reshaped the local economy and positioned the area as an important hub for renewable energy manufacturing.
