History

The hamlet was the first in Grundy County and was called “Buck Snort” in 1838 when Grundy County’s first white settler William Preston Thompson established his house. A home of Thompson, for whom the Thompson Branch of the Grand River is named, is in nearby Crowder State Park.

A post office called Edinburg was established in 1857, and remained in operation until 1907. It is named for the Scottish city of Edinburgh.

Edinburg was home to Grand River College from 1850 until 1892 when it moved to Gallatin, Missouri, where it operated for a period under the auspices of William Jewell College before permanently closing in 1910 following a fire.

It is the birthplace of Major General Enoch Crowder of the United States Army, founder of the United States Selective Service in World War I.
