Newmarket, Missouri

Newmarket (also spelled New Market) is an unincorporated community in Marion County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

For the community in Platte County, see New Market, Missouri.

Newmarket was platted in 1836, and most likely was named after another place with the same name, although folk etymology maintains the community took its name from the second store (or "new market") established at the town site.[2]
