Racine
In late 1869, a post office was established in a small
community in northwest Newton County. Settlement had begun there some 20 years
before, but as stores and public institutions were built, a post office was
opened and given the name Racine. During the peak of mining activities in the
area, Racine became a weigh station for the mining district. On the Racine
scales, ore wagons were weighed for an accounting of the ore tonnage. The
community, located along Missouri Highway 86, remains vibrant today and is home
to several churches, a post office and a few small businesses.
