Nishnabotna is an extinct hamlet in southwestern Atchison County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]
Nishnabotna was laid out in 1877 and named after the nearby Nishnabotna River,[3] and it was located on the Kansas City and Omaha Line[2] of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad.[4][5] An alternative name of the settlement was Nishne Station.[6] It was located 5.5 miles southeast of Langdon and 4.5 miles northeast of Corning along the railroad.[7] A post office called Nishnabotna was established in 1871 and remained in operation until 1953.[8] The population in 1915 was about 30.[4]
