West Liberty is an extinct town in Putnam County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

West Liberty was platted in 1855 as "Liberty", but as there was already another Liberty, Missouri the name was soon prefixed "West" in order to avoid repetition.[2] A post office was established at West Liberty in 1855, and remained in operation until 1908.[3]
