About Callao

Located in Macon County along Highway 36, Callao is a small, easygoing community in north-central Missouri with a fun claim to fame. Back in the 1850s, a railroad worker reportedly picked the town's name by spinning a globe and landing on Callao, Peru. Today, it offers a peaceful rural setting with plenty of open space, neighborly charm, and a quick drive to nearby Macon for everyday shopping and dining.
