I grew up in a relatively small Missouri place and I highly admire the small communities that manage to find a way forward even if modern conveniences escape them sometimes.

I found data on the website Missouri Demographics which listed all of the towns/villages/cities in Missouri and ranked them by population. Instead of paying attention to the big places everyone has heard of, let's honor the small but mighty.

Yes, people come and go and these populations will sometimes fluctuate, but these are as of this writing the smallest places in Missouri that people still call home.
