Welcome to Waldock ...

So far, we found very little information about Waldock. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Waldock to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Waldock - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Waldock, please Contact Us.


While we don't have the exact location of Waldock , we believe that it would have been located within present day Andrew County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Waldock, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1879.

Adding Waldock to Our Gazetteer ...

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Waldock was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

From that list, the Waldock post office opened in 1879.

We also found Waldock in the book titled Business Atlas and Shippers' Guide (1895).

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Waldock, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Missouri's counties, including Andrew, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>A copy of their list with background information can be found at:
