Brazito is an unincorporated community in Cole County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.
The community is approximately ten miles southwest of Jefferson City along U.S. Route 54.[1] It borrows its ZIP Code, 65109, from Jefferson City. The area code is also used by Elston and St. Martins.[2]
Brazito was laid out in 1850, and named in commemoration of the Battle of El Brazito in the Mexican–American War.[3] A post office called Brazito was established in 1856, and remained in operation until 1930.[4]
