New Truxton is an unincorporated community in Warren County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

History

New Truxton was platted in 1904 when the railroad was extended to that point.[2] A post office called New Truxton was established in 1905, and remained in operation until 1956.[3] The name of the community was prefixed with "New" in order to avoid repetition with Truxton, in Lincoln County.[4]
