Clementine, Missouri

Clementine is a small unincorporated community in Liberty Township, MO, sitting right on the old road in western Phelps County. It lies about fourteen miles southwest of Rolla, on the line of old Route 66. For travellers following the original highway across Missouri, it is one of the small places the road passes in this quiet part of the state.

What is Clementine?

Clementine is a rural community rather than an incorporated town, and there is little recorded about it beyond its place on the old highway.
