Economy, Missouri

Economy is an unincorporated community in Macon County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]

History

Economy was originally called Vienna, and under the latter name settlement was made in the 1830s.[2] The present name recalls the economical deals to be had at a local store.[2] A post office called Vienna was established in 1854, the name was changed to Economy in 1856, and the post office closed in 1906.[3]
