McCredie Township is one of eighteen townships in Callaway County, Missouri, USA. As of the 2010 census, its population was 760.[3]
McCredie Township was created sometime between 1883 and 1897 from what was before then, generally speaking, the southern sector of a much larger historic Liberty Township, with some alterations of adjacent township boundaries.[4][5]
McCredie was the name of a prominent local family.[6] The main town, long named McCredie, was fused into the incorporation of the village of Kingdom City in 1970.[7]
