Bucklin, Missouri

Bucklin, Missouri was initially laid out in 1854 and named after James H. Bucklin, an official at the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad. Though a post office has operated in Bucklin since 1860, the town has rarely been of huge concern. In fact, in the town's 171 years, the population has never been over 1,000.

As the town's size would suggest, there was little to no Jewish life in Bucklin. The only recorded Jewish resident was Eugene Rosenblatt, who lived in town from 1880 to 1898 and worked as a store clerk. Simon Hartman also briefly ran a store in Bucklin, though he lived in nearby Brookfield.
