The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Bucklin was laid out in 1854, and named after James H. Bucklin, a railroad official of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad. A post office called Bucklin has been in operation since 1860.
Bucklin was the 1st location of the (1st) Missouri Farmers Association (now called Midwest Farmers Association, more known by the initials of MFA). The building still stands here today abandoned. And is in need of restoring or diminution. It is a hazard to pedestrians with falling bricks.
