The terrain mixes bottomland along the rivers with upland prairie farmland, and roughly 1% of the county&#8217;s area is water. The county borders <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/nodaway-county\/\">Nodaway County<\/a> to the north, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/gentry-county\/\">Gentry County<\/a> to the northeast, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/dekalb-county-missouri\/\">DeKalb County<\/a> to the east, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/buchanan-county\/\">Buchanan County<\/a> to the south, Doniphan County, Kansas, to the southwest, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/holt-county\/\">Holt County<\/a> to the west.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Andrew County had 18,135 residents at the 2020 census. Savannah, with 5,069 people, is by far the largest place, followed by the Country Club Village subdivision at 2,487. Missouri&#8217;s 2023 median household income was the Missouri median of $68,545; Andrew County, a mostly rural farming county within commuting distance of St. Joseph, typically runs close to that state figure. Population density works out to roughly 42 people per square mile.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Row-crop and livestock farming \u2014 corn, soybeans and cattle \u2014 remains the backbone of the county&#8217;s rural economy, alongside grain elevators and farm-supply businesses centered on Savannah. Many residents commute south into St. Joseph and Buchanan County for manufacturing, healthcare and retail jobs. Savannah supports its own school district, a public library and the county courthouse on the town square, which anchors local civic life.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Andrew County was organized January 29, 1841, from land within the 1837 Platte Purchase, the tract Missouri added from Native American cession along its western border. The county is named for Andrew Jackson Davis, a St. Louis lawyer. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark camped near the mouth of the Nodaway River within the county&#8217;s future bounds in 1804 during their expedition upriver. During the Civil War the county, like much of the Platte Purchase, saw divided loyalties, with residents serving on both sides of the conflict.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>Interstate 29 and Interstate 229 both cross Andrew County, along with US Routes 59, 71 and 169 and Missouri Route 48, giving Savannah direct highway access south to St. Joseph.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>St. Joseph, Missouri \u2014 12 miles south<\/li>\n<li>Maryville, Missouri \u2014 25 miles north<\/li>\n<li>Kansas City, Missouri \u2014 55 miles south<\/li>\n<li>Omaha, Nebraska \u2014 100 miles north<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The nearest commercial airport is Kansas City International Airport, about an hour&#8217;s drive south.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Andrew County, Missouri?<\/strong><br \/>It is in the northwest corner of Missouri, just north of St. Joseph and Buchanan County, near the Kansas and Nebraska state lines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Andrew County?<\/strong><br \/>18,135 people, per the 2020 census.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Andrew County?<\/strong><br \/>436 square miles (1,130 km2), of which 433 square miles are land.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Andrew County?<\/strong><br \/>Savannah is the county seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns are in Andrew County?<\/strong><br \/>Five incorporated cities (Savannah, Amazonia, Bolckow, Fillmore and Rosendale), three villages (Country Club Village, Cosby and Rea), and a number of smaller unincorporated communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Andrew County?<\/strong><br \/>Eight ZIP codes serve the county, led by 64485 (Savannah); see the ZIP Codes section above for the full list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When was Andrew County organized?<\/strong><br \/>January 29, 1841, out of land from the 1837 Platte Purchase.<\/p>\n<p>More counties in this state: <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/category\/missouri\/\">Towns and villages in Missouri<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew County is a county in Missouri, United States, on the Nodaway and Platte river bottoms near the state&#8217;s northwest corner, close to the Kansas and Nebraska lines.
