County Profile
History of Audrain County
Audrain County was officially organized on December 17, 1836. The county is named after James H.
Audrain, a member of the state legislature. The first county court met at Mexico in February 1837 and within two
years the first courthouse was built on the Public Square.
Most of the early settlers came from Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. The county grew slowly in its first
three decades; the population in 1850 was only 3,508. However, in 1856 the North Missouri railroad was laid
through the county. This railroad promoted trade in the county seat, Mexico and a large surrounding area. The
1870’s, 1880’s and 1890’s brought progress and prosperity. More settlers came and settled on the prairie, now
more easily cultivated. Additional railroad lines were built and Vandalia, Laddonia, and several other towns were
founded and Mexico saw additional growth.
Farming has always been the county’s main occupation, and Audrain County is recognized as one of
Missouri’s leading agricultural counties. Audrain County also has a long history of agriculture. The Missouri
Watershed Information Network shows that 299,595 acres of the total acreage of 442,882 acres is in crops or
67.2 % of the land area in Audrain County. An additional 92,316 acres (20.7%) are in grasslands. The 2002
Census of Agriculture listed 1,089 farms in Audrain County with an average size of 318 acres. The American
saddle horse industry developed in Audrain County from the 1870’s to the 1930’s, with the Audrain horses
regarded as the finest in the United States.
The firebrick industry played an important part in Audrain County. As early as 1883 the county leaders
were promoting fireclay. By 1937 the A.P. Green Fire Brick Company was known around the world. Audrain
County’s refractories continued to expand and diversify, and remain a vital part of the county’s economy.1
Audrain County has always placed great emphasis upon education. The first public school was built in
1873. Today, Audrain has consolidated into three school districts. The Missouri Military Academy for young men
was founded in 1889. A century later it was named by the U.S. Department of Education as one of the nation’s
Exemplary Private Schools. Along with the county’s three public school districts and several private schools, the
county also boasts a college in its Advance Technology Center (Mexico).
Today the incorporated cities of Mexico, Vandalia, Laddonia, Farber, Martinsburg, Benton City, Rush Hill
and Vandiver and three Audrain County School Districts, lie within the boundaries of Audrain County. In addition,
several small-unincorporated villages are within the county. The location of these cities and villages are shown
on the Audrain County Base map.
Form of Government
Audrain County has eight townships, which serve today primarily as voting districts. The county
government provides services such as law enforcement, judicial services, land records, tax collection, property
assessment, and administration of elections, construction and maintenance of roads and bridges, and
maintenance of financial and other records of importance to the county’s citizens.
The governing body of Audrain County is its County Commission, which administers to the
unincorporated areas of the county and is in charge of development and approval of county policy. Audrain
County has a county-organized form of government that has a board of three commissioners. The County

Commission administers most county business and has some budgetary authority and is the only body that can
make decisions on behalf of all county government.
The County seat of Audrain County was established in Mexico, which is centrally located in the county.

Audrain County Emergency Operations Plan: Published in 2013.
The EOP states the Presiding County Commissioner is responsible for emergency management
activities in locations that do not have a local emergency management organization. The EOP is a multihazard, functional plan, broken into three components:
1. A basic plan that serves as an overview of the jurisdiction’s approach to emergency
management.
2. Annexes that address specific activities critical to emergency response and recovery.
3. Appendices that support each annex and contain technical information, details, and methods
for use in emergency operations.
The plan also defines lines of succession for continuity of government during a disaster as well as
preservation of records and the logistics of administrative functions such as procedures for obtaining
temporary use of facilities. The EOP is reviewed annually and revised as needed.
Section 2

Audrain County Emergency Operations Plan, Hazardous Materials Response by the Local
Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) revised 2013.
This hazardous Materials Response Plan is developed to help Audrain County officials and first
responders prepare for and deal with hazardous materials incidents.
City of Mexico
Mexico is the county seat for Audrain County. It became an agricultural trade center. Its heritage
includes world-famous saddle horse breeding and training stables and the Missouri Military Academy, a private
school founded in 1889. Early in the 20th century the area’s clay deposits were ideal for the manufacture of
firebrick. Large refractories were founded here in the early 1900’s.
Today, Mexico has a strong and diversified industrial base, while continuing the strong agri-business.
Form of Government
Mexico’s city government is a City Manager type of government. Mexico has a City Manager and five
council members. The council members are elected “at large” for 3-year staggered terms. The council elects the
mayor from its membership for a 1-year term.

City of Farber
Before Farber came to be in the eastern part of Audrain County, natural bluestem grass grew taller than a
man’s head on this flat prairie land. Silas W. Farber laid out the community of Farber in 1872. Located on the
newly constructed North Missouri Railroad, the town grew and prospered. In 1896 the first shaft coal mine was
sunk in Farber. The mine prospered and as many as 100 miners worked at this mine. Farber prospered with the
excellent operation of the coal mine.
From the three little cabins, the fortunes of Farber have risen and then fallen through the years. Many
good and memorable people have come and gone through this time. The population at the last census was 418.
We boast a mobile home sales lot, an independent telephone company and burglar alarm business, and are
home to the Farber MODOT crew, an Ameren Missouri gas repair crew. The town has the lowest fire –ISO
insurance rating in Audrain County, a class five, and the department was chosen “fire department of the year
2002”.
Form of Government

Environmentally Sensitive areas
Several of Missouri’s endangered animal species are found in Audrain County. By 1962, the Bald Eagle
no longer nested in Missouri. The Department of Conservation began reintroducing bald eagles to Missouri in
1981. The Bald Eagle Protection Act makes it illegal to harm or harass bald eagles, their nests, eggs and young.
Other endangered species include the plains spotted skunk, the gray bat, the American bittern, the Franklin
ground squirrel and the greater prairie chicken. A mishap, such as a chemical spill could wipe out entire species.
Chemical spills can occur as a result of several natural disasters such as tornadoes or earthquakes.

Historical Natural Hazard Events
Throughout history, the residents of Audrain County have dealt with the various natural hazards affecting
the area; tornados, windstorms, severe winter weather, droughts, earthquakes and floods. Although there were
fewer people in the area, the natural hazards adversely affected the lives of those who depended on the land and
climate conditions for food and welfare. As the population of the county increases, the exposure to natural
hazards creates an even higher risk than experienced historically.
Audrain County is subjected to many natural hazards including flooding, severe winter weather,
windstorms, tornados, excessive heat and droughts, and earthquakes effects. It is impossible to predict exactly
when and where these disasters will occur, or the extent to which they will affect the county. However, with
careful planning and collaboration among public agencies, private sector organizations, and citizens within the
community, it is possible to minimize the losses that can result from natural disasters
The following table summarizes the occurrences of storms (other than the disastrous floods of 1973
and 1993) in Audrain County since 1950 as reported to the National Weather Service.

History of Flooding in Audrain County
Audrain County is traversed by several small rivers and has a history of flooding in the low-lying areas
adjacent to these rivers and often floods low lying road surfaces. Heavy rains (3-5 inches) in a short time often

of care and installations critical to community services.
Below are several tables identifying special areas of vulnerabilities of, schools, child cares facilities,
senior housing, nursing homes, trailer courts, apartment complexes, campgrounds, and hotels. Also large
scheduled gathering and the approximate number of attendees are listed.
In addition to the above, the public buildings and critical facilities within the county and the incorporated
cities are listed. These facilities will be necessary to provide services and relief in the event of a natural hazard

Hazardous Materials
The local Audrain County LEPC handles any emergencies involving hazardous materials. It is important
to know the location of hazardous material because of the cascading effect from a natural hazard. Addresses of
the hazardous material locations in the county can be found in the Audrain County Emergency Operations Plan—
Hazardous Materials Response--LEPC manual.
Six pipelines run through the county; the Panhandle Eastern, Kaneb, Koch, Platte, Sinclair, and Williams.
Because of homeland security issues the location of these pipelines is not included in this plan.
Also the Callaway Nuclear plant is located just to the south of Audrain County and is included in Audrain County
disaster plan
The Hazard Mitigation Committee recommends that a comprehensive map of these locations be made available
to all emergency personnel in the event of a natural hazard.
Section 2
Page 34
Transportation
In addition to the roads and bridges maintained by the State of Missouri (MODOT), the Audrain County
Highway Department is responsible for the maintenance of all county roads (blacktop and gravel) and county
bridges and winter snow and ice removal. The Highway Department maintains a twenty-four hour emergency-call
status.
The cities of Mexico, Vandalia, Laddonia, Farber, and Martinsburg are responsible for the maintenance of
their city streets through their street departments. Snow and ice removal from city streets is also their
responsibility.
Emergency Operations Centers
Emergency Operations centers are at the Audrain County Joint Communications building located at 1854
East Liberty Street in Mexico and at the Audrain County Sheriff’s Office, located at 1100 Littleby Road in Mexico.
Other centers will be designated by the EMD as needed in a specific emergency.
