Rhineland, MO

Rhineland is a village in Montgomery County, Missouri, United States. The 2020 census counted 139 residents. Its name came from German immigrants from the river Rhine area. Located on the north side of the Missouri River valley, Rhineland was devastated in the Great Flood of 1993. The short version is that Rhineland carries an earlier story into the places people know and use now. That is the local read on Rhineland: its past remains attached to the places people use now. Rhineland was one of the first towns to accept federal funds to move out of a flood plain. Rhineland was originally built up chiefly by Germans, who named the settlement after the river Rhine. A post office called Rhineland has been in operation since 1853.
