From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ojibway is an extinct town in southern Wayne County, Missouri, United States.[1] The community location lies adjacent to the Otter Creek arm of Lake Wappapello approximately one mile from the end of Missouri Route PP.[2] Previous to the formation of the lake the community was along Otter Creek and the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad line just west of Chaonia.[3]
Ojibway had its start as a town in 1888 when the railroad was extended near that point.[4] A post office called Ojibway was established in 1901, and remained in operation until 1940.[5] The community has the name of the Ojibway Indians.[4]
