Edinburg (also Edinburgh) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Grundy County, Missouri, United States, 5miles west of Trenton. As of the 2020 census, Edinburg had a population of 84.[3]
The hamlet was the first in Grundy County and was called "Buck Snort" in 1838[4] when Grundy County's first white settler William Preston Thompson established his house. A home of Thompson, for whom the Thompson Branch of the Grand River is named, is in nearby Crowder State Park.
A post office called Edinburg was established in 1857, and remained in operation until 1907.[5] It is named for the Scottish city of Edinburgh.[6]
Edinburg was home to Grand River College from 1850 until 1892 when it moved to Gallatin, Missouri,[7] where it operated for a period under the auspices of William Jewell College before permanently closing in 1910 following a fire.
It is the birthplace of Major General Enoch Crowder of the United States Army, founder of the United States Selective Service in World War I.
