Broadway, Missouri

Broadway is an extinct town in Maries County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

A post office called Broadway was established in 1898, and remained in operation until 1921.[2] The community was named in jest, as the nearby country road was referred to as "Broadway" by locals.[3]
