Lincoln County, Administrative county in eastern Missouri, United States.
Lincoln County spans 640 square miles of territory along the Mississippi River, incorporating both agricultural lands and residential communities.
The territorial legislature established Lincoln County in 1818, naming it after Revolutionary War Major General Benjamin Lincoln.
The county maintains several educational institutions, from public school districts to private academies, serving its population of nearly 60,000 residents.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office operates a detention facility in Troy, providing essential services including medical care and regular meals to inmates.
The county's name originated from Major Christopher Clark's suggestion of 'Link-Horn,' which a clerk later recorded as Lincoln in official documents.
