Zeta is a ghost town in Stoddard County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] It was named after the Greek letter zeta by George H. Crumb, who built a rail line between Zeta and Bloomfield.[2][3]

Development

The town was a stop along the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway within Richland Township, located near Aquilla and Durnell.[2] It also was a stop along the "Cotton Belt Route", and had been a part of the defunct Missouri Southeastern Railway service between Zeta and Bloomfield.[4][5] Additional rail lines existed between Zeta and Vanduser in neighboring Scott County.[6]

Varying records indicate that a post office called Zeta was established in 1895 and potentially also in 1910, and remained in operation until 1936.[7][8][2] Zeta also was home to multiple farms and sawmills.[9]

Current state

One of the few remnants of Zeta left is the Crowder-Zeta special road district; its name being shared with nearby Crowder.[10][11] As of 2024, a Nestlé Purina PetCare factory is located immediately north of the historical location of Zeta, south of Missouri supplemental route Y, which was formerly and locally known as the "Zeta-Crowder road."[12][13][1]

Notable events

In 1916, a man from Zeta, Emil L. Gerardi, claimed to be a candidate for president in the 1916 United States presidential election.[14]

On May 30, 1917, an F3 tornado touched down west of Acorn Ridge, Missouri and crossed through Zeta and Stoddard County, killing three people in Zeta.[15]

On December 6, 1924, the Zeta rail depot was set on fire along with the depot in nearby Ardeola, which had completely burned down.[16]
