Geography

Madison is located at 39°28′24″N 92°12′44″W / 39.47333°N 92.21222°W (39.473197, -92.212095).^[6]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.45 square miles (1.17 km²), all of it land.^[1] In 1837, the town of Madison was laid out by James R. Abernathy, who came from Fayette County, Kentucky. Abernathy entered 40 acres and laid out half of the tract into 90 lots, selling the lots for $1,000 and naming the town for the President, James Madison.

In early years, the town had a tavern, hotels, general store, law office, carding mill, blacksmith shop, grist mill, bootmaker, hardware store, millinery, lumberyard/sawmill, furniture store, wagon shop, and Opera House.^[7]

The town continued to grow when the M.K. & T. Railroad, the Wabash, now the Norfolk Southern railroad, built from Hannibal to Moberly, was completed in 1872. Young men were employed as telegraphers at Madison’s depot.

Three of the earliest citizens and men who have been recognized as primary builders of the town are James R. Chowning, who owned a dry goods store an erected brick buildings in the business area, and brothers J.W. and I.N. Atterbury, who launched a mercantile, livestock and farming business in the community in 1867. J.W. Atterbury was elected to the Missouri state legislature in 1884.^[8]
